The Chosen One Ice Cream of Meycauayan

The Chosen One Ice Cream is a pretty popular ice cream brand in Meycauayan and for good reason.

Local ice cream is generally called sorbetes (ask the older folks) and when they're sold off the streets they get referred to as dirty ice cream because people assume that things you don't buy from stores are dirty. Also because they are often churned at the backyard of a local entrepreneur and not at the factory of a multinational company or a fancy gelato shop. The humble dirty ice cream has come a long way. Now one can rent a sorbetero cart for parties or buy them in containers just like other commercial ice cream. Some commercial ice cream brands have started calling their Filipino ice cream flavors, like ube and halo-halo, sorbetes with one brand naming its more affordable line as such, the flavors often the ones you would find in a sorbetero cart.

I'm referring to The Chosen One Ice Cream as a sorbetes/dirty ice cream because that's what they taste like, like the ones you can get from a sorbetero cart, especially their chocolate flavor. Not that that's a bad thing. Really, it's hard to compete with nostalgia (as The X-Files Revival found out, further pointed out by S11E4, even if Season 11 is quite good.). You know, slurping ice cream from a sugar cone while waiting for your turn at piko or whatever your childhood memory is with dirty ice cream. The Chosen One Ice Cream is quite creamy no matter the flavor you decide on. In your mouth, you'll notice that they do not have much air bubbles. They're not cloyingly sweet. You can taste the flavor and not the sugar. The chocolate ice cream has tiny marshmallow bits but mango remains as my favorite of the lot.

My brother said that there's also a store that sells dirty ice cream in plastic containers near their place in Makati. Cheaper, just as good but the packaging is much better. So yeah, The Chosen One ought to upgrade their containers. Lids of the one liter ones are not sturdy enough that they crack at the edges from all the opening and closing.

A liter of ice cream is around P100+. They also sell one liter containers with two flavors. Their facebook page lists their flavors as chcolate, mango, cheese, buko salad, buko pandan, langka, cookies and cream, avocado, ube and strawberry.

We usually get our The Chose One Ice Cream from their store near the Meycauayan Public Market. It's to your left just by the entrance if you are coming from the St. Francis of Assisi Church.
