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.
