Full of sweets, but still feel halo-halo inside

Philippines has some local ice-cream. We threw a Filipino Neopolitan into the grocery cart, a combination of Keso, Ube, and Leche Flan. Keso=Queso---it was a cheese-flavored ice cream. Ube is a local tuber, a purple sweet-potato-type thing. It has a starchy bland sweetness.

I was eager to try them, and I was confident that, if those two were horrible, the leche flan ice cream would save the day. The keso tasted sweet and empty, except for little bits of cheese whiz in it. The ube ice cream ended up tasting like buttered popcorn ice cream would. And the day-saver, the leche flan, was as bad as anything. It actually tasted like a lime ice cream, except not in any good way.
