Ask any Filipino which restaurant offers sundaes at an affordable price, and their answer will be McDonald’s. With around 655 McDonald’s branches throughout the Philippines, it is easy for anyone to pop by and enjoy a cup of Sundae or McFlurry. Everyone loves McDonald’s sundae for the velvety vanilla soft serve ice cream, topped with a thick layer of hot fudge or hot caramel. For people who are always looking for new things to try, you will not be disappointed with their new Cookie McFlurry or Coffee Caramel McFlurry.

Yo! Panda introduced us to the Hong Kong bubble waffle but with a twist by serving it with soft serve ice cream. The bubble waffle is chewy on the inside while maintaining a crisp exterior! While the crowd’s favourite is their bestselling Mango Cheesecake Bubble Waffle Ice Cream. The hidden gem will have to be the Cookies and Cream Bubble Waffle Ice Cream. For all matcha lovers, we highly recommend trying out their Matcha Bubble Waffle Ice Cream, topped with a generous amount of matcha power. Enjoy the fragrance of the matcha in your mouth with every bite.

The Farmacy Ice Cream and Soda Fountain has been serving us fresh homemade ice cream, milkshakes, sodas, coffee, and pastries since 2014. Don’t be surprised if you start to salivate while looking at their menu, which offers a wide selection of sundaes. If you can’t decide which sundae to have, why not go for the Hot Fudge Sundae? It comes with classic chocolate and vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate brownies, hot fudge, roasted peanuts, whipped cream and cherry. We also highly recommend their Classic Sundae, which is well-liked by many. They also offer alcohol and ice cream combinations like Rum & Coke Float for those looking for the extra kick.

If cheese is not up your alley, go for their lovely Milk Tea Swirl, which comes in four flavors: Wintermelon, Okinawa, Caramel, and Chocolate.
