Teriyaki Boy: Another Restaurant for My Green Tea Ice Cream Dessert Cravings

I have several comfort foods that instantly make me smile - one of them is Green Tea Ice Cream. Yes, the traces of Chinese blood in me is kicking in. :P 


Last Tuesday, I had lunch with my friends in Teriyaki Boy, Alpha Land Mall. I arrived late so my friend later on had to rush back to work. I decided to stay for awhile and try out the restaurant's new desserts. I looked to my left and I felt my heart race as I saw a picture of the glorious Green Tea Ice Cream on their table standee! WOHOO! :) Another restaurant with Green Tea Ice Cream! :D YEAH! Haha, I'm such an impulse buyer :P

My other friend encouraged me to have dessert when he saw the happy childlike look in my eyes at the sight of this table standee. I urged him to take the other dessert since it'll be weird to have him waiting for me while I happily savor my dear Green Tea Ice Cream. 


Aside from the grocery, I only know a very few places that sell Green Tea Ice Cream. Sadly, it's not a staple in Japanese restaurants. :( I usually have my Green Tea Ice Cream fix in Fruits in Ice Cream, UP Shopping Center. I tried the Green Tea Ice Cream of Sachi in Araneta Center and I didn't really like it. I guess it's the "authentic" Green Tea ice cream since there are leaves and other unknown naturey textures in their Green Tea Ice Cream. 

Green Tea Ice Cream or Macha Ice Cream with crunchy Tempura Flakes (Php78)

Teriyaki Boy calls it Macha Ice Cream and they adorned it with crunchy Tempura Flakes. Since it's Arce Dairy ice cream, it's obviously an ice cream flavor to love. Who can resist the Arce Dairy? Really. I think they're also more creative with their flavors as opposed to other more popular ice cream brands. 


The additional Tempura flakes were just okay. As expected, they were on the oily side since it's extremely fried. It's oil didn't overpower the ice cream, rather it added a fun crunchy texture to it. I honestly don't mind doing away with it since the ice cream by itself is already love. I guess this is Teriyaki Boy's contribution to the dessert so that it won't be completely Arce Dairy's. 


If you love Arce Dairy's Green Tea Ice Cream, this is basically it. I'm in love with their Green Tea Ice Cream so I really enjoyed this dessert. 

Caramel Ice Cream with Coffee Jelly Strips or Kyarameru Ice Cream (Php78)

My friend had the Caramel Ice Cream with Coffee Jelly Strips or what they call Kyarameru Ice Cream. My friend allowed me to have the first bite. True to its name, it's really creamy and it had a strong caffeine taste. I think the coffee jelly overpowered the caramel flavor a little bit since I couldn't remember tasting much caramel. Then again I only had one spoonful bite. It's really flavorful and coffee lovers would enjoy this dessert. 


It melted too quickly though. Probably because it was creamy or maybe it was not placed in the freezer for too long? I'm not too sure. My friend also commented the same thing. Anyway, seeing the coffee jelly strips on this ice cream, I texted my brother right away. He loves anything with Coffee Jelly! 


In terms of price, it's a little pricey for a scoop of ice cream but given it's sold in Teriyaki Boy, the price makes sense. Plus I think the restaurant made it its own with the additional coffee jelly strips and tempura flakes. 


I'm really happy there's another restaurant offering Green Tea Ice Cream. I hope all Japanese restaurants would serve it too. <3 Let me know if you know of other places that offer Green Tea Ice Cream. :D
