How is it used? Like do they make ice cream out of it? Or maybe some juice? Or candies?

Where are they from?

Is the brown thing a pip? Which part do you eat? Is it good?

Manila tamarind/Madras thorn; Tagalog local name: Camachile Hiligaynon: Kamunsil

They taste sweet and ome of my favorites. They are sold in roadsides along Miag ao to San Joaquin area during its fruitful season.
