Just before summer, I tried to eat at the En-eating editorial department!
Halo-halo polar bears have the same ingredients and colors as polar bear ice cream! Soft serve ice cream, tangerines, fruits such as pineapple, and red beans topped on coarsely shaved ice. The only difference is that the halo-halo polar bear is clearly a " soft serve ice cream push "!

In addition, sweet and mellow condensed milk syrup is combined with shaved ice, but the ice melts and the syrup dilutes moderately, so you can enjoy a lighter sweetness than polar bear ice cream.

In conclusion, Halo-halo polar bear is an exquisite flavor that you can enjoy rich soft serve ice cream and refreshing condensed milk shaved ice ! I got the impression that the smooth mouthfeel, which is a mixture of vanilla soft and ice, greatly enhances the quality of the sweets. It's also quite satisfying to eat.
