What’s cold, yummy, sweet and refreshing this summer?

Chowking halo-halo

None other than one of my favorite summer refreshments – halo-halo! This Filipino native delicacy literally means ‘mix-mix’ in English (halo means mix) and is a concoction of fruits (macapuno, jackfruit or nangka, ube, etc.), sweets (leche flan, kaong, nata de coco, beans and sago), pinipig with crushed ice and milk. It is best topped with ice cream. So cool and yummy!

Note: Photo above shows a bunch of Chowking halo-halos before they ended up in our tummies!

    Haha funny note. I think you are correct to show them how they look before they go in the tummy, not after.
    Sorry just me. It made me laugh.
