Hiii everyone!

Anya here from the Philippines! I work for a company that develops and supplies ice cream for ice cream shops, cafés, HORECA, amusement parks... pretty much anywhere that serves ice cream.

Most of my day is me flirting with food, especially ice cream! I spend my time coming up with new flavors, testing recipes, and finding ways to make them even better. Lately, I've been working on flavors inspired by Filipino desserts, local ingredients, and memories people can relate to, and honestly, it's been one of the most exciting parts of my job.

I wanted to do this AMA because I'm curious too. I want to know what people actually wonder about when it comes to ice cream. Whether it's flavors, ingredients (I'll keep things general though, hehe yk I can't share company secrets ), how new products are developed, what goes on behind the scenes, or even the business side of things.

So... ask me anything! No question is too simple or too random. Fire away!

And if you don't have a question, I'd love to hear this instead:

What's one ice cream flavor you've always wanted to try but have never seen?

Some of the ice cream I made and introduced last year in PH's ICEGEX 2025 : vanilla, matcha banana, blueternate coconut, strawberry chia, bignay and mixed berries, soursop

Barangay Plainview Area

Will anyone be interested in buying retailed Multi-grain rice? (BRAND: Harvester's, Goldmine)

I realized it is much more cheaper kasi buying in bulk, eh dalawa lang kami sa apartment magkashare so I can only stock so much.

I'm thinking of packing them using a vacuim sealer, these are my projected prices:

₱ 110.00 per 1kg

₱ 200.00 per 2kg

I can also arrange to sell cooked rice at ₱20.00 per cup (roughly 150g) thru pre-ordering.

Note I opted multigrain rice kasi aside from it's lots healthier than white rice, di rin mabilis mapanis.

What do you think?

What's your best ice cream base recipe so far? Beginner here :)

I came for the novelty, stayed because, damn, the Champorado flavor had no business being that good.

Super creamy, rich chocolate flavor. Pretty sure they used tablea because this wasn't giving cheap chocolate energy.

Also, there's actual effin rice in the ice cream. Questionable? Hmm yeah pretty much. But it tastes amazing. Weirdly fun texture and low-key filling enough to count as a meryenda.

Next on my list: Tutong na Kanin, Puto Bumbong, and Mangga sa Kanin (their bestseller, apparently 👀).

(Di ko na napicturan kasi it's all gone before I even realize it, so amma snatch a pic na lang from their page lols.)
