Mang Inasal is a Filipino chain of quick service restaurants and is owned by Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC). Being a quick service restaurant, expect the chairs, tables and free spacesto be not as spacious as those in fine dining restaurants.
It is very popular because of its unlimited rice option on the main meal menus. This is actually their edge among other quick service restaurants because it is known that Filipinos are rice lovers.
While I enjoy the unlimited rice most of the time, one other main reason why I visit the restaurant is their dessert options. Sometimes they have promo like this merienda (snack) combo of noodles and halo-halo. I love the halo-halo the most!
Halo-halo is an original Filipino cold dessert with different sweet ingredients mixed in crushed ice and evaporated milk. These ingredients are sweetened beans, jack fruit, ube, coconut julienes, gelatin, leche flan, boiled root crops like sweet potato, seaweed gelatin and scoop of ice cream. Many halo-halo blends usually have limited ingredients like just the gelatin and too much ice. That is the opposite of halo-halo at Mang Inasal. It has many ingredients that are really true to the taste. It even has his tube waffle which no other halo-halo serving has. It is very creamy and I really love all those many ingredients together. Halo-halo is perfect for summer! It can be just prepared at home or better yet, invite your family to Mang Inasal's.
There are two sizes of servings of halo-halo at Mang Inasal. One is the regular serving which costs P75.00 (US$ 1.45) while the other one is small size which costs P50.00 (US $0.96). If I have halo-halo alone, I take the regular size because it is just right size on its own. However on cases when I take it with a meal just like what I did for this review, I take the small one because I can not finish the regular size with rice meal.馃槉
I had the impression that this branch which I visited used to be Manong Pepe's which the owner JFC has rebranded using their acquired restaurant, Mang Inasal. That is because I searched for Mang Inasal in the area and Manong Pepe is the one coming out on Google maps. It has incomplete details anyway so I put the address below.
