Palm Grill and Karabella Dairy's New Gelatos Put Mindanao Flavors in the Spotlight
Switch the usual chocolate and vanilla for Burnt Coconut and Sulu Coffee.
(SPOT.ph) The cuisine of Mindanao deserves all the love in the world, especially from us Filipinos—even us all the way in Manila. Thankfully there are spots like Palm Grill serving specialties from the region, and in the process, helping spread awareness of their culture and keep their heritage alive for the years to come. It doesn't stop at food of the savory sort. The dining spot now gives us a taste of the sweet side of Mindanao, as they've teamed up with local purveyor Karabella Dairy for a trio of gelato in flavors distinct to the area!

Palm Grill and Karabella Dairy's Mindanaoan Gelato
In line with their aim of upholding Southern Mindanaoan food and culture, Palm Grill's teamed up with Karabella Dairy for a small-batch line of gelato, in flavors emblematic of Mindanao.
There's Sulu Coffee (P490), a deep and robust scoop that pays ode to Tausug coffee culture, made with Kahawa Sug (coffee of Sulu)—a single-origin coffee varietal often taken with Tausug pastries or dishes. Burnt Coconut (P490) takes after syunug lahing—essentially burnt coconut meat, typically used to make tiyula itum and pamapa—resulting in a nutty scoop that brings to mind a less-sweet latik. Last but not the least is Knicker (P500), studded with cubes of fruit taking after the Zamboangueño ice dessert known as knickerbocker.
You can pick up pints, or get them by the scoop (P190) at Palm Grill's Tomas Morato or Gateway 2 branches. These are available only for a limited time—you know what to do!
Palm Grill is a local restaurant serving Southern Mindanaoan eats, with branches in Tomas Morato and Gateway 2, Quezon City. Karabella Dairy, on the other hand, is a small gelato purveyor that uses carabao milk for their signature scoops.
Palm Grill is at 179 Tomas Morato Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City and Palenque, Gateway 2, General Araneta, Cubao, Quezon City. For more information, check out the Facebook pages of Palm Grill or Karabella Dairy.
