Strawberry, Biscoff, and Cheese in new Mang Inasal Halo-Halo treat

Looking for something new and refreshing this summer? Try the new Mang Inasal Strawberry Cheesecake Halo-Halo!

Inspired by the demand for trending, dessert-style flavors, this latest take on the classic halo-halo arrives just in time for the strawberry season. It combines the fruity brightness of strawberry, the indulgence of cheesecake, and the crunch of Biscoff cookie crumbs—creating a premium, visually exciting treat perfect for the season.

This berry-creamy treat is made with Mang Inasal’s extra creamy milk, strawberry syrup with strawberry bits, strawberries and cream ice cream, and cheesecake cubes, finished with grated cheese and Biscoff cookie crumbs. Like the new and improved Mang Inasl Extra Creamy Halo-Halo, the Strawberry Cheesecake Halo-Halo also has milk dusting for that longer lasting creaminess that customers have come to expect from this treat.

Jollibee launches refreshing and budget-friendly summer treats as heat intensifies

Summer in the Philippines is not just about beach trips or out-of-town plans. For many, it lives in everyday moments like merienda breaks, barkada hangouts, and quick cool-down stops after a long day.

As the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) signals the start of the warm and dry season, these small rituals become even more meaningful.

To match this shift, Jollibee, the country's no. 1 fastfood chain, has introduced its “Summer Delights,” a selection built around refreshment, affordability, and shareable joy.
