Summer Time means Halo-halo time in Philippines

Yes, at last, after so many months of waiting to be back in my own country, baby and I were able to relax by enjoying our vacation in the Philippines.

 Truly it is hot and summer is in. I do like summer in the Philippines although one thing I don't like is the unpredictable weather change in our country. But for now, what I can say is that I enjoy here in Makati City. The sun is high, the sky is blue, ahhh some breeze over here and there. Baby took a bath outside and it was fun seeing him enjoy his ball toy while splashing water in the wash basin. Anyway, this blog is still going to talk about food.

 It is about Halo-halo, one of the most favorite summer snack treat of the Filipinos. Halo-halo is a sweet, cold treat for everyone who has a sweet tooth. Halo-halo or in layman's term is called mixed mix in English is composed of different ingredients like sweet potato, pearl balls or tapioca, gulaman or gelatin, leche flan, ube, langka or jackfruit, with sweetened white beans, garbanzos, corn kernels, some evaporated milk and sugar for blending it and ice cream if its really a special order.

 Well, my brother bought this halo-halo in the neighbor and we just added ice cream that we bought yesterday. It was really a fun way treat for this Holy Week and were on stay-cation (just at home and stay). You can add more concoction for halo-halo if your adventurous and quite playful when eating like nata de coco (one of my favorite ingredients), kaong and macapuno strips.

The invention is endless and the fun stays even more when shared with families and friends. How about you? Have you tasted Halo-halo? You can just crush ice and mix it with the ingredients I have mentioned above.Try it now to cool you down on a hot summer day!

Butterscotch Ice cream with Almonds and Coconut Biscuit

Finally, it just arrived, no not the ice cream, but the digital camera that we purchased online. It was the only thing I’m waiting for in order to post good looking and quality pictures on my food blog. As you can see or noticed, my blog has been silent for 4 days and I was just busy posting articles on my other blogs which I haven’t maintained for so long.

A cozy Sunday Snack


crunchy, delicious and perfect for butterscotch ice cream


Better late than never, almost finish eating the ice cream!


Its Sunday once again and it’s raining outside. I have chicken biryani for lunch and now that I was busy again writing for more articles to be posted on my other sites; I got hungry for a snack. Luckily, I still have the last portion of butterscotch ice cream in the freezer and coconut biscuit from Parle.

Well this ice cream perfectly matched the almonds and the creaminess of the flavor just like combining vanilla ice cream and oreo chocolate cookies. Makes sense for a pretty running mind that keeps on writing. I was thinking of rejuvenating my other skills like cross stitching but on the other hand, I better hunt down a place where I can buy the materials needed.

My mind has been thinking a lot lately, not about food, but about things like hobbies that will help me earn more money just enough to save before this Christmas season comes. Its only 106 days left before Christmas and I have no ideas on what to do to save and earn more dough.

I also like the idea of baking, but I’m afraid I cannot pursue that plan for this year, maybe buying an oven will be a great start but about other baking tools and stuffs, that’s another problem since I don’t know where to buy it here and where the money is to buy the stuffs, lolz!

Hope this week, my food blog site will be back to normal again. I am still trying to find exciting ways of sharing to you more foodies and dining galore, gosh! I’m financially challenged for the next months to come so dining out will be difficult. Wish me best after two more months since my tummy is feeling so heavy now. Motherhood is calling and I hope that more exciting recipes to post here on Food, Fashion and Fun.
