Cherry Blossoms vs Macadamia Salted Caramel Magnum Ice Cream

Yesterday I dropped by 711 and was pleasantly surprised to find two new flavours of Magnum Ice cream because I like to eat ice cream. Cherry Blossoms at MYR 5.30 nett.

And Macadamia Salted Caramel at MYR 5.30 nett.

The Cherry Blossoms - Sakura flavoured ice cream with swirls of Cherry sauce coated with pink Belgian chocolate with Cherry fruit pieces. The Cherry fruit pieces on the coating give the sweet ice cream a slight sourish taste which is refreshing. Overall the taste reminds me of Choya Umeshu which I like but some people may not like this unique taste.

The Macadamia nuts embedded in the smooth Belgian chocolate coating are very creamy nutty. The ice cream tastes like Werther's Original caramel candy but is a bit salty. Very interesting taste which I like.

Made in Thailand

Made in Indonesia

I like the taste of both of these new flavours because they are not as sweet as those other Magnum ice creams such as the classic chocolate coating vanilla ice cream and they have interesting flavours. I must eat both ice cream again before they are out of stock because they are limited flavours.

DIY Big Breakfast

8.55 am - Not my breakfast of Bacon, BBQ sausage, eggs, yellow cherry tomatoes and raw ice plants. I bought a can of baked beans for this big breakfast but was told too big, no need baked beans.

10.48 am - my breakfast of bacon, eggs, yellow cherry tomatoes and the remaining instant noodles with curry potatoes from the day before direct from the fridge without reheating.

  1. U had both ice cream at one go? The last time i had magnum was in bali year 2015. It is mch cheaper over there (even after conversion to our weak RM) as the ice cream is made in Indonesia. I had a few sticks throughout my stay in bali.

    1. Yes, one after another because I ate them in the car immediately after buying them. Wah, you don't like ice cream? Since it is 5 years ago since you ate a Magnum ice cream. You must be eating them many times a day when you were in Bali in 2015, so nice! So enjoy!

    2. I m just so-so with ice cream, not much preferences. In KL, I can get the usual and cheaper Walls or Nestle ice-cream, so Magnum is forgotten.

    1. Oh, I did read your post about it back in Nov last year. Mini ones are better so that no need to eat so much calories at one time.

  7. I havent try both. Looking for anything interesting in the ice cream section last Saturday when went for grocery shopping but did not noticed these 2. I would like to try both but I think I will go for cherry blossom. To me, ice cream is a sweet dessert.

    1. Why not? You are ok with sourish taste a bit, right?

  10. Oooh! Thanks for the reminder to replenish my freezer's ice cream. It has 2 sticks left and I should head to 7-Eleven to explore their ice creams instead of queuing up at the supermarkets just for ice cream. Now I could even buy Haagen Daaz easily from Petron station.

    I want to try that Chocolate and Macadamia Salted Caramel flavours.

  11. I saw both types of Magnum in Jaya Grocer. So far have resisted buying as I'm not a big fan of ice-cream anyway.

    Not-your-breakfast has sliced tomato while yours is whole.
