Revisiting Another Old Favorite: Magnolia's Parfait

Another cloudy afternoon, maybe not a good day for some ice cream. But why not. Time to see another old favorite... 


Magnolia's classic parfait, three scoops of ice cream and some pretty awesome toppings...just like the old days.




And here's the cool part, you can select your favorite Magnolia ice cream flavors for the perfect parfait.


My customized parfait has a scoop of chocolate in between two scoops of vanilla, drizzled with crushed nuts and chocolate syrup, and topped with whipped cream and a cherry. A crisp barquillo completes my parfait. Perfect.


Along with Magnolia's classic Black & White, this one's a winner (check out my previous post on Magnolia's  iconic Black & White here at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2012/09/magnolia-flavor-house-back-in-time-with.html).


Magnolia's classic parfait, another old favorite worth revisiting again. And again.


Meet Manny Parba, Chef, Head Trainer and overall ice cream master from San Miguel Purefoods, the man responsible for ensuring that the new menu remains consistent with Magnolia's classics, as well as preparing new items and tweaking old favorites. Like coating slices of bananas in chocolate in the updated Banana Split. Cool.  Great job, Manny! 

Magnolia Flavor House is located at the Upper Ground Level of Robinsons Magnolia, Aurora Blvd. corner Dona Hemady, New Manila, Quezon City.
