Rain or shine, cold icy treats is something I could not get enough of. Ice cream, shakes, frappuccinos, etc. are something I would not mind having even during rainy season. That is why ever since Tokyo Tokyo, a well-loved Japanese restaurant here in the Philippines released their Snow Ice, I m still enjoying it even if rainy season has been declared now here in our country.
Snow Ice is Tokyo Tokyo’s take on traditional Japanese iced dessert called Kakigori. It is essentially made up of creamy layers of vanilla shaved ice topped with all things delicious. There are three flavors available; Choco Sensation, Mango Peach Medley, and Halo-Halo.
Early today, I paid a visit to Tokyo Tokyo to get my Snow Ice fix for the day. I was dead set on getting all three flavor but unfortunately, the Mango Peach Medley was not available. Good thing though that I equally loved the other two flavors which my family also loves.
The Halo-Halo Snow Ice was a beautiful take on the local ice dessert Filipinos love. The vanilla shaved ice was topped with jelly, lehe flan, corn flakes, and a scoop of purple yam or ube. My parents liked this Snow Ice variant beause it is not too sweet nor bland. The purple yam they are using are obviously of high quality because the flavor shines through especially when mixed with the entire concoction.
The Snow Ice Choco Sensation on the other hand is made of vanilla shaved ice topped with brownie chunks and little marshmallows drizzled with chcolate syrup. This variant is perfect for chocolate lovers and kid at heart. The vanilla shaced ice balances the sweetness of the chocolate hence it is not cloying.
