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.

Tim Ho Wan Secures Its 17th Consecutive Michelin Recognition Under the Jollibee Group

Tim Ho Wan, the dim sum brand hailing from Hong Kong under the Jollibee Group, continues to be recognized in the Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau, with its Sham Shui Po store receiving the Bib Gourmand distinction in the 2026 edition. The Bib Gourmand distinction is awarded to restaurants that offer high-quality food at excellent value for money, reinforcing Tim Ho Wan’s long-standing positioning.

The recognition marks the 17th consecutive year the same store has been included in the Michelin Guide—a milestone achieved during Tim Ho Wan’s first full year under the Jollibee Group following its acquisition in January 2025. Over the past year, the brand has focused on strengthening systems, chef training, and food quality, reinforcing the consistency that has long defined Tim Ho Wan in its home market. 

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.
