Halo halo is a traditional Filipino dessert that mixes shaved ice with ube (sweet potato) ice cream and a variety of toppings such as soursop, flan, jackfruit, cornflakes, jello etc.

They have a quite a few franchisees in Cebu city itself.

Ranked the best halo halo by my cebuano friend and I gotta admit I think so too!! Mind-blown by this cool dessert on a hot day! 🤯

Iirc, you can choose from 30%,50%,70% and 100% for your drink. Went for the lowest option of 30% and still found it way too sweet. I could only taste the sweetness of the brown sugar syrup with every sip 😶 I really liked their pearls though, which were sufficiently fat and chewy.

I think its essentially the same as the hanjuku cheesecake that i tried from the same shop previously, the difference being that there's a layer of biscuit crumbles at the bottom. However, i felt that the layer failed to meet expectations because it was just a very thin layer which was soft and wasn't crumbly as promised 🙁

Also, I reckon that it would have been better to have it warmed up before consumption to be able to enjoy the gooey cheesey satisfaction!

The softserve definitely did not disappoint with the distinct cheesiness which paired well with the topping of caramel sauce. The generous swirl of softserve was garnished with a piece chocolate bearing the cafe's name. Nothing special though, tasted just like some cheap chocolate coin.

There was also cream cheese in the centre😍. I think this makes for a very good light teatime snack! Though not the cheapest, its still affordable and worth the price in my opinion😊

Hence, I was clearly baffled upon receiving my cone as it seemed just like any other milk ice cream.😅 Glad to say that the ice cream exceeded my expectations though 😊 It really did taste distinctly of the white rabbit sweet that i was so fond of as a child! They were also really generous with portion. The charcoal And swirls were huge 😛 The price is only P80 for a plain cone, and P95 with your choice of 1 topping, which comes up to only about $2-$2.50 !

The charcoal cone was really crisp, but had a rather cardboard-y taste to it which I didn't really fancy. Another gripe would be that their menu showed the topping of "matcha" in powder form, but it actually came in the form of matcha condense drizzled onto the ice cream. Not something I would place alot of significance in though, because I still really enjoyed my ice cream😊😋
