FOODAMN PHILIPPINES : WHO WE ARE

Upbeat Ice Scramble @ Icebreaker

We've outgrown ice scrambles from a "manong' vendor, from a school vicinity or where crowds usually feast to a cheaper alternative. Scramble reminds us of our happy childhood days and the old school plastic cup of pinky shaved ice. Thus, we love streetfoods, it's for "matibay-tibay na sikmura" as we say =) When you treat yourself something from what they call street food vendor, you kinda look away from the hygienic side. A gamble at stake. But we are Filipinos, the distinct taste and food art we create becomes a habit-forming
So came [as it claims] the cleanest and yummiest scramble in town. A young bro from Malabon made a trial and error project concerning his valuable asset: the ice! =) 
Marlon Sevilla, a tourism graduate from UST ventured into the food business after comparing the potential income from an ordinary scramble vendor who takes home 800/day sales against his iced-based earnings. He moved on and thought of an idea that would appeal with the "masa" [average, ordinary] crowd. 
Why not a scramble with a twist? 

The concept of Icebreaker's "clean factor", the eye-candy color topping selection and add-ons, and very affordable price made an instant hit towards a yummier, more appealing and a tastier scramble. 
We were treated with scramble with Oreo toppings, Sevilla's  latest addition to his topping selection aside from mallows, crispies and extra milk. I wonder when will he add some blueberries on it? =) and still remain in-expensive. The Oreo cookie bits blend quiet good enough with the pinky slush. A healthier snack for kids without hurting your pocket. 
Icebreaker has almost 40 [and counting] branch nationwide. Sevilla will soon launch another ice-based beverage concept Swoosh in Trinoma Mall. I admire this young entrepreneur for his determination and creativity, using ice as his major business component is a very wise-move. 

What I noticed and like with Icebreaker, they guarantee clean working area which is what consumer typically looks after. Honestly, when I was a kid, they don't allow us to have the pinky slush because of the "dirty" misconception. But we end up having some, the fun lies behind the sneaks and gulps. =) Now that the availability of safer, cleaner & creamier & still affordable scramble,  there's no way a kid would sneak out again. =)

  15. This business literally captured the hearts of many. We all missed the "manong" who'd sell these scramble in the streets every "uwian". And now, we can get the same for almost the same price in a mall! ^^,

    Visiting here from PF. :) Here's my Pink Fridays entry. ^^, My apologies for the late visit.
