- Food Travel Log
- Appreciation might come from knowledge. At The Lost Bread in Baguio SM Mall, I had "Ube Macapuno Ice Cream." The unique creaminess of Ube matched perfectly with Macapuno, a rare coconut meat found in only 0.15% of wild coconuts. But with research, its cultivation success rate is now 75-100%, showcasing human ingenuity. Suddenly, it feels more precious!

- Ube Macapuno Ice Cream is a traditional Filipino ice cream that combines the vibrant purple ube (purple yam) with the rare and special macapuno (a creamy variant of coconut). Because macapuno occurs naturally at an extremely low probability of 0.15%, it is considered an expensive and rare ingredient. To overcome this rarity, agricultural research has advanced, allowing it to be cultivated with a success rate of 75-100%, a testament to human ingenuity. This dessert, with the subtle sweetness of ube and the rich, creamy texture of macapuno, perfectly captures the essence of its ingredients, making it more valuable the more you know about it. However, each time the author appreciates Ube Macapuno Ice Cream, they immediately want to order more after finishing, suggesting they haven't quite learned to appreciate the value of their wallet!
