The Magnum Craze

From the time Magnum have appeared in the markets, many people had gone crazy over this ice cream bar. It  is a smooth delicious ice cream coated with thick, cracking Belgian chocolate. It is considered to be one of the leading ice cream brands, selling 1 billion units annually worldwide. Here in the Philippines, there are only 3 available flavors namely Classic, Almond and Chocolate Truffle. For 50 php, you can now have a bite of this tempting ice cream bar! Grab one now!

REVIEW:

Among the three flavors I have tasted, my most favorite is Almond. There's almond bits in the ice cream and I loved my every bite of it. I couldn't stop eating and I want to eat more. The Belgian chocolate was so addicting that I felt like eating an imported chocolate bar. Magnum is definitely worth every bite!

A Refreshing Way To Beat The Summer Heat!

Summer is about to end in the Philippines but before it all ends, I would like to make my review about their famous dessert "Halo-Halo". In beating this terrible heat we felt during summer time, we Filipinos would love to eat Halo-Halo. I consider it as the best remedy to cool down during a hot, humid summer day in the Philippines.
According to chowking.com, Halo-Halo is an appetizing mixture of sweetened ingredients arranged on a bed of snow ice with a generous serving of milk and topped with toasted pinipig, served in an elegant bowl with under liner. Can be topped with one or two scoops of delectable Cheese or Ube ice cream. Regular ( with 1 scoop Ice Cream ): P72.00  while Large ( with 1 scoop Ice Cream ): P105.00

It was one hot sizzling day that I decided to visit Chowking Atrium located in Iloilo City. I wanted to freshen up so, I decided to order a special halo-halo. Here are some images of the refreshing Halo-Halo.

 This is what it looks like in their picture or in their poster.

 The actual Halo-Halo.

 REVIEW:

My order was special halo-halo with one scoop of ube ice cream that is worth P69.00. Wihtout the ice cream, it will be for P59.00. According to their official website, you could either choose Cheese or Ube ice cream as your topping but most of the time they would usually serve it with ube ice cream. I think it depends on the availability of the ice cream to some of the Chowking branches. When my order came, I was a bit disappointed. As what I see in their poster, the cup was full of ingredients on the top but when I saw it being served there were only few ingredients on top of it. Most of the ingredients were found below the crushed ice and I couldn't even taste the milk! So, I requested for an additional milk and that's free of charge. Even though presentation was not quite good, I still enjoyed eating my halo-halo. I'll definitely go back to this place again! Overall, Chowking's halo-halo is still the best!
