watermelon by you.

Summer is almost ending but i still seeing watermelons which are scattered everywhere in the market. While we’re driving on our way to Tagaytay, which is a perfect summer destination, we saw a group of roadside vendors selling a lot of newly harvest watermelons. We took advantage of it and bought some watermelons. You can serve this red watery flesh fruit as a dessert. It is also perfect to mix with your fruit salad together with some other fruits. Just add cream and presto! you have a yummy creamy fruit salad. You can also put this into the blender and add some milk and sugar to have a watermelon-flavored shake.

Watermelon is a great source of lycopene, which is helpful to prevent heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and even cancer. Watermelon is also a diuretic food which helps prevent kidney-related diseases! Yummy and Healthy!

Cool Summer Treats

It’s really getting hot here in Philippines so here are some cool Pinoy treats that are perfect to fresh you up this summer!I gathered all kinds of Pinoy treats! enjoy!

Let’s start with this very colorful Chocolate Shake

This is so perfect for kids. You can decide what kind of toppings your kids love to put.

You can try these “ICE CANDIES“. Probably the cheapest treats of them all.

Usually it only cost P2 and you can see them being sold everywhere especially every summer.

Here’s another FLAVORED MILK SHAKES i bought from a store near to us.

You can try this at home too! You can use natural fruits to make it more tasteful!

The most popular Filipino Summer Treats is the “HALO-HALO“.

It is a popular Filipino dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice and milk to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits, and served cold in a tall glass or bow

Topped with “leche plan and Ube!

You can also try this “DIRTY ICE CREAM or what so-called SORBETES” Okay it’s not what you think!

Sorbetes is a Filipino version for common ice cream usually peddled from carts that roam streets in the Philippines. This should not be confused with the known sorbet. It is also commonly called ‘dirty ice cream’ because it is sold along the streets exposing it to pollution and that the factory where it comes from is usually unknown; though it is not really “dirty” as the name implies. It is usually served with small wafer or sugar cones and recently, bread buns.

Well, if none of the above is available near your place, you can just try making FRUIT JUICES.

So simple yet refreshing still

Oh by the way since i have mentioned “halo Halo already, i can say that one of the best Halo halo store is “Chow king” My brother and i went there last Sunday and it’s the best!

Have a great day everyone and happy blogging!
