One of the highlights of our recent trip to Panglao was eating at the Bohol Bee Farm. We had wanted to go there in our previous trips to Bohol but somehow failed to visit and have a meal there. We have heard and read about how good the food was and that they also made their own ice cream. We made sure to go there this time for an early dinner and ice cream.

The Malunggay ice cream was the surprise for us. Of course, we know about malunggay pandesal and malunggay pesto but this is the first time we encountered malunggay ice cream. The taste and texture was refined. The wife says it tastes like a variant of pistachio and I would agree. There is still a hint of the malunggay in the aftertaste. I think this is in the same category as the sili, durian, charcoal and other exotic flavors you will find around the country.
The ice cream retails for 70 pesos per scoop (cassava cone included) at the Bohol Bee Farm. At other places like resorts, a cup (equivalent to a scoop) retails for 100 pesos. While it is expensive, we thought it was really worth it and part of the experience.
