Selecta's Limited Edition Matcha Cookies and Cream (2024 version)
Heard you were looking for this? hehehe.
Three flavors were recently launched as limited edition ice creams, two of which we were able to buy today: Choco Chip Cookie Dough and Matcha Cookies and Cream.
A pint is sold for P 126.50 in Mightee Mart.
Will I repurchase?
Yes.
Taking into consideration its price and taste, this is one of the better options of matcha ice cream in the market.
Selecta's version of the regular cookies and cream is a comfort food for me since I grew up eating that flavor. I don't remember how 2019 version tasted like, but I think I like this more.
I said in 2019, and I quote, "medyo matagal kong hinanap 'yung matcha ice cream..."
Well. Say no more. This tastes like an oreo matcha latte made into an ice cream (but it isn't oreo 😛). You taste bits of chocolate cookies together with a matcha ice cream.
Having tasted a few premium matcha gelato and ice creams in the past few years, this version is not too potent for me but I think it was made with the palate of the general public in mind. This probably won't get the usual feedback of "lasang damo" whenever I recommend matcha to non-matcha drinkers.
Again, it's mild but matcha's taste is there (matcha level 2 ganon). Cookie bits are a bit sweet and chocolatey then it melts in your mouth together with the slight bitterness of matcha. I'd pay another P 126.00 for a pint of that flavor experience.
Just showing you this, I haven't tasted this yet.
