White picket fence is probably one of the illustrations of an American dream.  Traditional decorative fence made out of wood and painted white or whitewashed that surrounds a house where your family can live daily, sectioning your front yard where happy and bouncy children can play.  I’m proud to be a Filipino and be part of nation-building efforts so I’m not sure if I have an American dream lurking inside. 

But as mentioned in previous posts, I don’t mind getting sweet dreams.  While I anticipate that, I’ve been sweet dreaming my way to ice cream, pastries and cakes lately –healthy sweet options if available.  As opposed to a quarterly crave or less often, my palate is opening up to more sweets.  A few weeks ago, instead of an American dream, I’ve found sweet satisfaction behind Picket Fence.   

Drove to Katipunan looking for the landmark, which is Yellow Cab.  Parked in front and walked inside the building and just behind the marker, I saw picket fences lined up painted on its glass frontage.  I entered the bright, cheery looking Milk and Ice Cream Bar, whose ice cream and gelato are imported from Australia, the land down under.

Cheezy Fries Php 140

Before we get our hands and mouth sticky and sexy with ice cream, had to start with a savory dinner first.  For starters, we ordered the cheesy fries which are thin cut fries dripping with sour cream, cheddar cheese sauce and dotted with crunchy bacon bits.  This was good enough to be shared by 3 people.  I nibbled on my cheese-sour cream glazed fries until my order arrived.

Picket Fence Burger or PF Burger Php 199

Marked as the signature item on their menu and I wouldn’t argue.  Top bun off and I placed it on another plate (to cut down the carbs) and there staring back at me are double patties stacked with fried battered onion rings on top and crispy bacon.
