“What is my ideal Nuffnang summer?”
My ideal Nuffnang summer is composed of a lot of things, not just for me but for the family as well:
- swimming at the beach using “Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion. We’ve got you covered.” for skin protection plus “Schick. Free your skin.” to remove unwanted hairs.
- go on road trips, trek some hills, explore some caves and breathe fresh air
- take a lot of sunflower photos, a feast to the eyes!
- eat halo-halo and ice cream with the kids to ward off the heat
- have afternoon walks with the children to burn those sugar intake from halo-halo and ice cream
- drink lots of freshly juiced fruits (and vegetables) and water of course to keep ourselves hydrated
I’m sure my summer will not be boring with all these things to do plus so much more!

I have been trying to get rid of belly fat for a long time (no surprise here). The summer heat on the other hand, does not help in making me crave for something cool. Oftentimes I give in and have one of my favorite desserts with the family: Chowking halo-halo.
Halo-halo (from the word, halo = mix) is made up of shaved ice topped with cooked sweetened fruits. It is made sweeter with sugar and milk. More often than not it is topped with ice cream.
The last time we had halo-halo was last election (May 10) and we were disappointed. We were one of the last customers at the Chowking Circle C Congressional Avenue branch because it was almost closing time when we went there and the staff were busy cleaning up. This is where we have eaten a great majority of Chowking food and where the kids feel at home.
We ordered three halo-halo servings and when these were done, were made to sit on the counter for several minutes before it was served. If the hubby did not stand up to say these were probably ours, I don’t know how long we would have waited.
In other words, the shaved ice in the Chowking halo-halo melted and was very difficult to mix. Water from the shaved ice and the milk overflowed. The shaved ice stuck together, buo-buo. The Chowking halo-halo looked liked milky soup with ice.
Here’s proof:
Now compare that with this Chowking Halo-halo served right away, from Chowking TriNoma Food Court.
Big difference eh?

I have heard so much about this Halo-Halo so when the branch in UP-AyalaLand TechnoHub opened, hubby and I trooped there to sample the “Let’s chill”y food.
We ordered dinner first and will just have that halo-halo for dessert.
Dinner was disappointing.
I thought it was just me but the lady sitting on the next table remarked (rather loudly) that her food was cold and even had it returned to be reheated. Oh well.
There is the halo-halo.
I must say I didn’t enjoy it that much because of the earlier disappointment. Maybe I will just probably have this again next time after having dinner elsewhere.
