Chowking Circle C Halo-halo Epic Fail
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?
