Monique and I paid a fast visit to Fisher Mall along Quezon Avenue last Saturday. This newly opened mall is situated at the former site of the Pantranco Bus Terminal, and is easily accessible from both Espana and Roosevelt Avenue. We had some ice shavings at Cold Layers, which was familiar to her, having eaten at their former branch in Connecticut Avenue a few years back. These desserts are commercial known as "snow ice" and are priced a bit on the high side (around P150 to P200 each), but I can assure you, these are really addictive.
I would guess that the name Cold Layers comes from the layers of shaved ice. The texture is somewhat midway between crushed ice desserts (which is coarse and usually artificially flavored) and ice cream (which is smooth and creamy). It's very light, yet packed with flavor. I had a green tea creation with red mongo beans and corn flakes, while Monique had a chocolate version with popped rice and coffee jelly. The names of the desserts are geared for the young ones in love--for example, First Date, First Kiss, Deep Temptation, Sweet Surrender, and It's Complicated. I had a smile on my face, just reading the menu!
