Magnolia Ice Cream Parlor. This joint is special because it brings me back to the time when things are just simple and the roads are very much less congested. During our elementary days in Bene, when our parents gets the chance to leave work earlier, they would fetch us up and treat us for a movie in ATC. Alabang Town Center was known as Alabang Twin Cinema then. After the usual family oriented -flick from the spouses Nestor de Villa and Nida Blanca, or TVJ and Aiza, we would have fun recounting the highlights of the movie over spaghetti, burger, and desserts such as Ernie and Bert and milkshakes in Magnolia Ice Cream Parlor, located at the basement of ATC. Unfortunately, as Ayala Malls started to develop the area, the ice cream parlor closed shop.
So when I discovered that they opened a branch across Mall of Asia in Pasay near Hooters, I decided to check the place out and relive the memories. Sadly though, the place dissapointed me. The burger and spaghetti is just not the same as they used to be. Well, I guess I just have to come to terms that indeed, you just can't bring the past back.
