Quick Bites: MelonPan Opens at Robinson's Magnolia

That distinctive cross-hatched pattern on a fresh-baked sweet bun has just been spotted at Robinsons Magnolia...


The famous sweet bun filled with gelato from Melonpan Ice can now be enjoyed at its newest branch in Robinsons Magnolia. Fans of this novel Japanese concept can now indulge on their favorite sweet buns after some serious shopping at the mall or have a tasty bite before a movie. Here's a quick look, and a quick bite, at Melonpan Ice in Robinsons Magnolia...


Located at the third level of Robinsons Magnolia in the same floor as the cinemas, Melonpan Ice allows mall goers to grab an indulgent and sweet gelato-filled bun on their way to even more shopping without skipping a beat.  And it all began from a food truck in Japan's Dotonbori back in 2013...


Made from a rich dough coated with a layer of sweet cookie dough, each bite delivers contrasting textures draping the palate with a delicate sweetness. Great as is, but somehow the bun is transformed when filled with gelato.


The bun is the ideal base for gelato, intensifying the subtle sweetness of the bun as the gelato slowly melts. And the bun holds well, retaining its form all the way to the last bite. That light texture with its firm and lightly crisp outer layer pairs well with the gelato for a filling snack.


The gelato at Melonpan Ice is also refreshingly lighter, and going for a Double (P 220) fills your cup with a generous heap of gelato slabs. Not overwhelmingly sweet, you'll find Strawberry...


...and Vanilla along with other flavors like Chocolate, Matcha, Black Sesame and Kinako. Each cup is served with a piece of their Melonpan for that signature pairing. Fans of Melonpan Ice residing near the New Manila neighborhood no longer have to travel far for their melonpan fix. You'll find it right here at Robinsons Magnolia...

Melon Pan is located at the Third Floor of Robinsons Magnolia, New Manila, Quezon City.
