Chill. At Novotel Manila's Ice N Cream...

When summer temperatures rise, simply head up north to Novotel Manila and chill at the new Ice N Cream by Novotel...


Novotel Manila launches the metro's newest ice cream destination, Ice N Cream by Novotel, scooping a selection of refreshing and innovative flavors just in time for summer. Scheduled to formally open on April 16, 2017, read on and take a flavorful peek at Ice N Cream by Novotel...

Inside the bright and colorful interiors of Ice N Cream, diners can experience pure ice cream indulgence, with over thirty decadent flavors in true Novotel style (for more on Novotel Manila, see my post, Novotel Manila: Luxury Comes to Quezon City and on my other travel blog, Novotel Manila: Transforming the Landscape in Quezon City).

Novotel Manila's Executive Chef Michael Schaub (L) and his team have been busy creating some of the most inventive and unique ice cream flavors this side of the metro, right beside Food Exchange (see my post, International Flavors at Novotel Manila's Food Exchange and Flavorful Celebrations at Novotel Manila for their seasonal offerings).


After a sumptuous lunch at Food Exchange (see my earlier post, Back at Novotel Manila's Food Exchange), we all headed for the new Ice N Cream by Novotel. At Ice N Cream, you can also find freshly-baked bread, whole cakes and mini-cakes, cookies, tarts, profiteroles, eclairs, croissants, pralines, shakes, and floats to pair with your favorite ice cream, like these tempting squares of Carrot Cake...


...the sinful Banana Cake topped with walnuts...


...and the delicate Mango Layer Cake. Perfect for cheat days, or any other day, Ice N Cream by Novotel is the ultimate stop for indulgent cravings this summer and beyond. 

Enjoy tasty nibbles of Ice N Cream's elegant pastries like the Madeleine (L) and Financier (R), light and sweet starters before your ice cream fix. Just like the intricate pastries and desserts at Novotel Manila's Food Exchange, the sweet treats at Ice N Cream is top notch.

Then, it's time for some ice cream at Ice N Cream by Novotel. Go for a single, a double, a triple, or better yet, a quadruple scoop with a combination of Ice N Cream's signature flavors, and you've got a winning dose of pure ice cream indulgence. With thirty flavors to choose from, making your own ultimate ice cream fix is easy...

During the preview at Ice N Cream by Novotel, guests were invited to recreate their signature Le Mont Gourmand, a massive sundae with fifteen indulgent scoops of ice cream topped with a variety of sprinkles and drizzled with sauces. Time to get creative...


We may have gone overboard  with the toppings for our version of Novotel Manila's Le Mont Gourmand, but the rich and creamy notes of the ice cream comes through with each bite, followed by another. And another. And here's why. Ice N Cream by Novotel is made from the finest and freshest premium local and imported ingredients from Germany and France. It's gluten-free and stabilizer-free with less sugar, with the elegant smoothness and creamy texture of premium ice cream. It's just the way ice cream should be, and you can find it here at Ice N Cream by Novotel.


Then, the moment everyone was waiting for, it was time for scoops of ice cream at Ice N Cream by Novotel. Chillin' at Novotel Manila tales on a flavorful new spin...


That day, Ice N Cream by Novotel showcased eighteen of their signature ice cream flavors, including the Classics like Oui Vanilla, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go!, a tasty cafe latte ice cream with the rich and deep notes of coffee with real coffee bean crunch and a personal favorite; the Choco Goes Nuts with choco peanut, and the matcha-flavored It Matcha-A Been Love. You can also find uniquely Philippine Flavors like the Purple Dream made with ube and langka, Green with Envy with avocado, the wittingly named Smell Me, Taste Me, Love Me with durian, and Leche De Almond inspired by the iconic velvety smooth leche flan blended with almond florentine, another personal favorite and must-try at Ice N Cream by Novotel. One bite and the texture, taste and feel captures everything you love with leche flan. You can also opt for light and refreshing Sorbets with Cocoyeah, Wazzup Soursop, Breezy Berry and Mango Tango. How about a tipple with some alcohol-infused ice cream? Why not. Ice N Cream by Novotel's Tijuana Surprise made with cucumber, dalandan, and tequila is a refreshing choice for summer. Or go with the Papa Don Preach, a rum raisin blend with Don Papa Rum, another personal favorite. Or the Kirsch Me, a black forest creation with a kick. You can also indulge without the guilt with Ice N Cream's Sugar-Free flavors like the Yo Berry Yoi, creamy yogurt with berries, or the Oh Honey Honey with calamansi and honey.


And here's an insider tip. The chefs of Novotel Manila swear by the caffe latte and durian combination with a scoop of Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go! topped with the durian-flavored Smell Me, Taste Me, Love Me. Trust the chefs. Seriously. The ice cream is competitively priced, with one scoop ranging from P 100 to 120, two scoops from P 190 to P 220, three scoops from P 240 to P 300, and Take-Away Pints at P 395. You'll also find your favorite ice cream flavors from Carmen's Best (P 120/Scoop) at Ice N Cream by Novotel, including Vanilla, Malted Milk, Salted Caramel, Butter Pecan, Brazilian Coffee Dark Chocolate, Cookies & Cream, Hazelnut Fudge, Honey, Maple Walnut, Chocolate, and Strawberry.

And here's a sweet deal. As part of its launch campaign, Ice N Cream by Novotel will generously offer a complimentary scoop of ice cream with every scoop purchased from April 16 to 29, 2017, a double scoop for the price of one for a cool sweet deal. Summer just got way cooler with Ice N Cream by Novotel.
