There's a lot of ways to go sweet these days. Expensive cupcakes to mushrooming milkshakes, you choose, but there's nothing like the pure joy ice cream gives. Whether it'd be in a humongous tub or in an ice cream parlor, you'd always screaaaaam with it.

When it comes to these things, you'll enjoy choosing in Iceberg's wide array of sweet nothings (well aside from that there's more on their menu like...sisig! But let's be sweet first). From Filipino all-time favorite con hielo specials to french parfaits, super sundaes, milkshakes, banana-splits to godzilla/ king-kong appetites, a week's not enough to taste them all. 

So it started with...

 

German U-Boat Banana Split (Php 228). It has three scoops of varying ice cream flavors, whipped and sprinkled with marshmallows and chocolate-chip. On the sides are wafer sticks then topped by swet little cherry. Best of all, this german named sweetheart has an American flag :p. The serving's big it's good for sharing. It's yum but...

Strawberry Parfait (Php 188) ...I enjoyed this strawberry coolness much much. It has real fruit with syrup and three scoops of ice cream, whipped with cream and topped with a cherry. I'm a fan of chocolate but this is refreshingly sweet. 

Iceberg's Super Mais con Hielo (Php 108) is a three-thumbs up treat too. At this cheap, it's already offered with a scoop of ice cream. It's quite generous for sharing, too.

One good thing about Icebergs too is that its icecreams appear smaller than they are in real life. How cool is that? :)

When you've satisfied yourself with a good movie, what usually comes next is a search to devour. Much so, if watching is actually a 'work' thing. Let me add to the riddle that since it's work, you just have to find one decent spot to feast- in this case, that floor in Resorts World Manila with cinemas.

Just a few spots away, The Sizzlin' Pepper Steak attracts you with what sizzles.

The interior feels homey with the wooden ensemble and all, coupled with the smoke that sizzles everywhere. You'd find the resto's concept really cool and cute.

First, they have this standee where you just flip 'mooooove' if you want a waiter to tend to you or 'stop' if you want to put things in normal. Needless to say, you don't have to raise your hands to get attention. Cool.

Then, when your sizzling order arrives (unless it doesn't), the protocol is 1.) turn it (because the upper part isn't that cooked yet) then 2.) you pour the sizzlin' sauce and 3.) mix it. You'd find this really enjoyable and unique for something that's not shabu-shabu. It's also a good waiting time to cool it too.

To add to the thrill, (a.k.a your liberty to choose your own pepper adventure) they also have 7 sizzlin' sauces to choose from. When in doubt, just follow what's on the menu. Anyhow, it's posted everywhere you can just help but manage to write while waiting:

1. Twist of Steak
2. Terikayi Trippin'
3. Hottie Tomato Steak
4. Teri-Mayo Duo
5. Marinara Connection
6. Gravy Kind of Love
7. Dippy Tartare Cream

After the smoke effect and all, taaaadaaaaa!

Pork Barbeque Pepper Rice at Php 223 served with iced tea and teriyaki trippin' sauce

The Pork Barbeque Pepper Rice is just normal, nothing really so fantabulous with the flavor. The serving of rice is hefty but not so much with the pork.

Sizzlin' Soya Cream Tuna at Php 160 with (if I'm not mistaken) Teri-Mayo duo sauce

You have to go healthy at times, yes, so this came next (after brooding over if giving it a second try was worth it). From of the greens in the rice, there's no mistaking, it's an embark on the right side. Tasting the tuna alone can be a bit bland but when paired with the teri-mayo duo sauce, it's a good combination. The sauce is so yummy, you can't help ask for more and you'd be surprised asking for more doesn't really cost a penny (mentally took note of this).

Did it really sizzled? Literally, yes but then again food is just normal. Sometimes service can be slow too. But for experience's sake, yes it's a fun place to dine.
