What an Eat-Fest

Summer is already here in the Philippines. One indicator of how hot this part of the the country is, would be the increased demand of halo halo. Halo Halo is actually a traditional summer cooler in the country made of sweet beans and mongo beans, a blend of fruits (for homemade ones, the combination can be limitless), evaporated milk, shaved ice and a scoop of ice cream. I actually had one at Chowking one really hot Monday (sans the ice cream). It was a refreshing treat!



A few hours later, I and a friend went to Chocolate Kiss Cafe in UP Diliman. I ordered a chocolate chip cheesecake (described in the cafe's menu as a New York-style cheesecake with semi-sweet real chocolate chip morsels) and of course cappuccino (combo of espresso, hot milk and milk foam). The combination of cheesecake and cappuccino is surely a match to beat foodwise. With the ambiance of the place and a good conversation to boot, it surely was a good way to end the day.

And I think I will be doing this often this summer.
