Today, I am loving...

Today, I am loving... the sense of humor of bar dolci. Remember the "sosyal na Bazooka" note on their Bubblegum gelato (see original post here)?

Here is the new note on their Ferrero gelato: "our worst-selling flavor! hehehe"

According to the guy at the counter, "Sinisiraan na po namen kasi sobrang lakas" [We're bad-mouthing it because it's selling too well]. And he said this in jest, without any trace of arrogance. Hahaha! I love that they can poke fun at themselves! 

I guess this place really believes one of those quotes on their wall -- "Ice cream is happiness condensed."

And yes, I've asked if they're okay with a drive-by and the girl at the register said yes!!! Bar Dolci Burgos Circle - 632-8468245 (see drive-by post here).

sweet nostalgia

After dinner at Cantinetta with my girlfriends last night, we walked to Bar Dolci in Burgos Circle. Little did I know it would end up to be a walk down memory lane...

I ordered this Bubblegum gelato - at first because of the amusing note on the flavor paddle: "sosyal na Bazooka". But as I savored each spoonful of my mini-scoooper, I was reminded of the Coney Island ice cream bar at Unimart when I was little. I would always get either bubblegum or orange with chocolate fudge and rainbow sprinkles. Yum!

Of course I couldn't eat at Bar Dolci without getting my favorite Salted Butter Caramel macaron. I've tried - not all, but a lot of - their sumptious and delightfully-colored flavors, but this is the absolute best!

The funny thing is that when I hear the word "macaroons", this is what still comes to mind...

Hope you enjoyed this short, but sweet, trip down memory lane!
