As popularly known, the ice scramble or iskrambol is a flavored Filipino dessert smoothie made from crushed or shaved ice, smothered in strawberry or chocolate syrup, topped with powdered milk, candy sprinkles, marshmallows, and pinipig crunch, among other tasty toppings. With this delicious Filipino dessert’s comeback, ‘90s peeps and, of course, the present generation will surely love to treat themselves with this dessert while chilling by the cozy place.

Besides the refreshing and savory Philippine food, dessert, and smoothies on the menu, Ayskrambul Bacolod is the perfect place to chill and dine. The overall ambiance is covered in pink, the classic color of the iconic Filipino dessert, with a bit of dash of black, complements well with the bright pink color. The wooden tables and chairs simplify the café’s interior, making it unintimidating to the customers while ushering a welcome to the classic taste of the ‘90s ice scramble. The simple structure makes you feel at ease like you are relaxing by the neighborhood, a vibe that completes the nostalgia.

Even after their grand opening, this traditional Philippine food served in Ayskrambul Bacolod is still in demand. Their ice scramble is always sold out even before the store’s closure hours. Back in the day, the ice scramble was served by street vendors in big styrofoam ice boxes, with elementary kids lining up for their turn to taste the pink dessert. And now, in the modern-day, the famous ice scramble makes its comeback, made available in cafes like this and inside shopping malls and markets.

Aside from the deliciously refreshing ice scramble, Ayskrambul Bacolod also serves different kinds of street food such as fish ball, kwek kwek, tempura, dynamite sticks, and yet another popular Philippine food, the buttery hotcake.
