Ever get so full that you no longer have space to enjoy dessert? When having merienda at Cafe Via Mare one afternoon, I discovered that light icy desserts are the best complement to a full meal – especially in the summer. If you get the opportunity to dine at the nearest Cafe Via Mare, I highly recommend that you cap off your meals with the 75-pesos Summer Shooters: a dessert sampler of halo-halo, mais con yelo, and guinomis.
Each shot glass is filled to the brim with rich ingredients and topped with extremely fine shaved ice. I think the key to the best halo-halos is the ice – it should melt in your mouth like candy, and you shouldn’t be able chew on ice pebbles that weren’t as finely ground.
The Summer Shooters are a little too small and bitin if all you want is a halo-halo and nothing else, but as a dessert they’re just right.

the portion is ridiculously tiny
if you look at it as a glass as tiny. If you multiply by 3, it’s about the same amount as one tall glass of halo-halo.
Halo-Halo is always good I have never had any bad halo-halo
