| - What is this sorcery and why is it not located in Los Angeles?
Magnolia Ice Cream & Treats is a small ice cream shop located inside Seafood City - a Filipino grocery and they serve Halo-Halo and Mais Con Hielo. Halo Halo is basically a Filipino dessert that consists of shaved ice, gelatin, tapioca, langka (jack fruit), coconut and a bunch of other small sweet or savory bits and pieces then, it's topped off with evaporated milk and ube ice cream. Mais Con Hielo on the other hand is pretty much the same thing except swap out all the bits and pieces from a halo-halo with corn. Yes, corn. It's frigging amazing and a complete favorite of mine. Magnolia though, takes the cake since they finish off their Mais Con Hielo with a scoop of Queso & Mais (Cheese and Corn) ice cream. I mean come on now, how good does that sound? If you're not drooling now, you should be.
Service is great and don't be scared to ask them to take out certain things from your halo-halo if you're not comfortable with it (for instance, I'm not a fan of jack fruit so they happily left it out).
Sheesh, I'd give this place ten stars if I could. If only there were a location close to me, *sigh*. If you're ever out in Vegas or better yet, if you live in Vegas, this spot is a MUST try. Seriously, go on now.
