It’s getting cool in here
Ah, the season of the warm sun. It is supposed to mean vacation, right? But actually, like Sly and the Family Stone band, it calls for “Hot Fun in the Summertime.” So, think of the mall and coolers galore. And there is no better place to get these than from SM Mall of Asia, which promises to beat the summer blues away.

The restaurant is famous for their Greenwich Special pizza — this is the ultimate thin-crust pizza loaded with seven toppings of ham, beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, bell pepper, onions and pineapple.
To endure the summer heat,
Another ice cold drink is the cream Frost. Enjoy the Chocsicle of creamy milk chocolate slopes like choco-nut sprinkled with coffee jelly. Or drift across the clouds with strawberries and cream that is blended with strawberries, a drizzle of sweet syrup and a layer of whipped cream to fulfill your frosted fantasies in each cup.
Fresh Bar by the Big Chill
In the 12th year of the Big Chill, the company wanted to bring something creative and fresh to the dining scene in
Chaikofi, the Concept Cafe
With the cute Captain Pot (a teapot mascot) and boutique-like interiors, expect the perfect blend of coffee and tea with fusion-based gourmet meals at Chaikofi, the Concept Café. Leave it to Dutch man Arie Willard to come up with such a unique place, which was inspired by his travels and, of course, his passion and knowledge for coffee and tea.

To beat the summer heat, ice tea lovers will surely enjoy the Fruiteas. This freshly brewed iced tea comes in fruit flavors, exotic spices and organic herbs. Choose either the Four Seasons with black tea base or calamansi with green tea. For something low in calories but high in protein, try the Yogi Frost in either Orange Citrus Blast with orange and lemon or my personal favorite, which is the Vanilla Banana Boogie.
Caffeine lovers will surely love the Coffee Medley like the Iced Kofi Vanilla Affogato made with coffee and vanilla ice cream. Oh, there is also the Kofi Mocha Frappe from the Fete De Frappe line with chocolate ice cream that is to die for. If you want a more exotic blend, there’s the Blushing Bride Zonetea with strawberry, almond, milk tea, vanilla ice cream garnished with rice dreads or the Parfum de Citron with lemon, lime, green milk tea, vanilla ice cream and nata de coco. Dig this, most customers take photos of their drinks before enjoying them.

To complete the doughnut experience, Krispy Kreme has a line of cold drinks. The Chillers Kremey includes Chocolate Chocolate, a rich creamy treat for chocoholics and Lotta Latte with espresso and milk. For non-milk-based drinks, try Krispy Kreme’s fruity line. Orange You Glad is a refreshing blend of tangerine, mandarin and navel orange flavors. Then, there is Very Berry, which is the perfect mix of tart and sweet with a hint of berry flavors.
