This YouTube video (gusto14321) caught my interest. I love halo-halo especially the ones I had back in our small town in the Philippines. The ingredients were fresh not canned except for the evaporated milk and they used the metal shaver on a block of ice. Our local street vendor prepared the mixture right in front of you. I am salivating as I write this.
Will Chowking live up to their enticing, mouth watering commercial? I am ready to find out.

I was greeted by a friendly staff. There are 2 sizes for halo-halo, Classic (coffee cup serving) or King (super-size). I opted for the King size - cost $5. The staff agreed that the King size was the best way to enjoy their halo-halo concotion. The mixture was prepared in less than 5 minutes. It was exciting to bring home a sweet taste of the Philippines. I was disappointed that the major ingredients were not in the mixture such as the flan, coconut, banana slices which the commercial video beautifully displayed. Just a lot of clear & green cubed gelatin, red mung beans and some jackfruit. The King size provided 2 medium servings of halo-halo. Sweet but not overly rich. Although, the overall enjoyment of this halo-halo was good. My rating for this sweet pleasure is 3 TEEspoons.
Well, I am on my way to the next stop to find that TEErific halo-halo perfection.....stay tuned.
