With pure mineral water for their fine and powder-like shaved ice, it really is a tasty treat for those who had just taken their meal or those who simply want to cool down summer’s heat. The customers can choose what to put in among different ingredients that include macapuno, glazed bananas, langka (jackAling Foping’s Food Treyn fruit), ube jam and many more. Though the price may be a bit high for a typical Dabawenyo (P70 for regular and P90 for special – with ice cream on top), many still buy it because of its quality.

Taste what many Dabawenyos and Filipinos as a whole enjoy, not just during summers but the whole year round. Try it. It sure is worth every penny.
