After eating at Hoy Panga! in Katipunan, we headed to SM Aura to have dessert. Yes, we planned our meals that day carefully. Lunch was tuna dishes to ease the guilt to we can splurge on ice cream and chocolates later..heehee.
We are not regular SM Aura goers because this is located 2-3 hours away from home given the traffic in Manila these days. Of course, there are days when you just have to give in to your itchy feet and travel for a few hours to satisfy your cravings. Besides, that’s where you can find the only Magnum Manila Pleasure Store in the Philippines.
A staff greeted and assisted us by the door and we were told that Create-Your-Own-Magnums are only for take out . If we would like to get a table we’d have to order something from the menu. I told them that we were just there for the dessert. Since there were seven of us (my MIL, FIL, SIL Ate Arlene, her son Bradzen and his nanny, peanutbutter♥, and Ykaie), we were informed that we would have to order two dessert items from the menu.
We had the Cookie Dough Skillet (₱250) which was warm chocolate chip cookie dough that’s super soft topped with two vanilla Magnum bars, dark chocolate, and chopped pecans.
Then we also ordered the Fondue for Two (₱350) which was composed of Vanilla and chocolate Magnum bars with a choice of milk, dark, or white belgian chocolate fondue. We chose Milk Chocolate, of course! It was served with fresh strawberries, bananas, grapes, lady fingers, marshmallows, butter cake, brownies,and brownie brittle.
It was also served with gold nuggets and pistachios which you can use to top your magnum bars after dipping in belgian chocolate. We ordered three extra Magnum bars (₱50) so each of us will have one. Then we shared the milk chocolate fondue and the chocolate chip cookies, fruits, and other dipping items.
Ykaie had to try the Create-Your-Own-Magnum.
She coated a vanilla Magnum bar with milk chocolate, topped it with chocolate crunch balls, crushed oreos, and honeycomb bits then drizzled it with white chocolate.
Look at peanutbutter♥, Ykaie, Mama Lucy, and Ate Arlene enjoying their Magnum bars. I couldn’t get enough of that belgian milk chocolate fondue…. if I wasn’t trying to avoid sweets like my OB advised me, you’d probably see me eating it with a spoon like soup!
Oh I’m definitely going back to try out the new desserts and to get more of the milk chocolate beligian fondue!
Magnum Manila Pleasure Store is located at 5/F Sky Park, SM Aura Premier McKinley Parkway corner 26th St., Bonifacio Global City, Taguig

Isa sa mga gusto kong puntahan talaga when I get to visit Manila is ang Magnum Manila Pleasure Store. I want to experience their Create-Your-Own-Magnum. Wala kasi dito yan sa Bacolod. Hehe. 😀
Btw, I like what Ykaie made! It looks yummy! I bet she finished it in no time. 😉
Yes she did. and she had another one!
Nah I bumped some blogs with ice cream posts too but this one is my fave! Kinda expensive but of course magnum eh for sure delicious yan! Literally it wants me to grab some ice cream right now! Meh! Haha
I super love their belgian chocolate!
Grabe, I feel like a loser! The few times we’ve been to Aura, we did not try it here pa! I want that fondue and cookie skillet too! This place is perfect for families.
Ay naku, you have to try that Fondue!
I’ve been meaning to go there, now even more after reading your own experience! Keeping my fingers crossed for this month, sana! Haha.
aww. too bad closed na sila.
I love Magnum Manila. I only tried creating my own but I want to try their creations too. Is it true that they’re closing for good this month? 🙁
Yes. sad no?
Visited this a number of times and I still can’t enough of it. For me this is one food experience that you will always place on top.
True! too bad closed na sila.
Thanks for reminding me of this heavenly place. I’ll put that in my calendar as a treat to my daughter who will be almost done with her review schooling.
Too bad it’s already closed 🙁
Never mind the traffic Magnum is worth the trouble. Photos are incredibly tasting hahaha in short nakakalaway
Thanks Mary Jane!
2-3 hours travel here is already going to next province. Will the heavy traffic ever end in Manila? sigh. The gold nuggets is interesting. This makes me crave ice cream tuloy.
Sayang this has to close down last month.
I’ve heard and read a lot of good reviews about Magnum Manila but I haven’t visited. I guess I should make time. It should be worth the drive from the South because of those treats.
🙁 too bad they already closed lat July.
It’s really tempting to visit Magnun Manila but I’m trying to avoid high calories. =<
Too bad it’s already closed 🙁
I really thought that the Magnum Store in SM Aura will be closing soon. Good thing it is still open, I can dive into sweet treats for a couple of times more!
Closed na nga sya Sef, last July 26..huhuhu
Too bad they had to close already 🙁 Their style of serving ice cream desserts were so unique!
yeah! I’m gonna miss them..sniff
I wanna try this Magnum experience but it’s just too far! Perhaps if I hit the Metro once again, I will tour all the places I want to explore.
Aww, this closed last July!
