| - What a great addition to Seafood City! A dedicated place for sweet, icy cold treats. Most importantly, customizable halo halo and Filipino ice cream flavors!
On my first visit I tried the halo halo with everything on it. It wasn't the best I have ever had, considering this is their specialty; however, I think it is the best choice for halo halo amongst the immediate competition (Chow King and Jollibee). My favorite part was the ube ice cream before I did the "mix mix." The pinipig (rice crispies) added crunch and texture.
Second visit, I wanted to try the maiz con hielo (corn ice) out of curiousity. I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't too cheesy at all, but a nice balance of lightly sweetened corn. I liked the cornflakes on top for texture. Just like the halo halo, I think it is best enjoyed all mixed up.
I actually returned the next day with my mom, but did not end up ordering. It was too busy even though I tried waiting in line. Although there was only one person ahead of me at the time (5 people behind me), the transaction and time to scoop that customers ice cream took forever! Also, the girls at the counter started another transaction right in front of me for an off duty coworker. I think they need some improvements with workflow and prioritizing customers.
I love Magnolia's ube ice cream, but with the pricing I think I would invest in buying the big tub from Seafood City next time!
