"My love for ice cream emerged at an early age - and has never left!" ~Ginger Rogers
Undeniably, cool refreshing products such as ice cream, popsicle, ice pops, milk bars, ice candies and what have you are simply irresistible. Ever since we were kids, these are our happiness. And be honest with me, you even cried whenever your mom or dad won’t buy you one? LOL. Well, that happened to me too. And we are not the only ones.

In our neighborhood, there’s a seller who roams around selling his coconut and ube flavored popsicles. We can tell if he’s around whenever he sound his bell. Of course, he’s always present every summer, and that means we want it to fight the heat. My parents love them too.

And sometimes, whenever it’s fiesta in our grandparent’s neighborhood, there’s always this “sorbetes” or dirty ice cream (ordered homemade ice cream) that we call available for every guests that come, of course, for us too. I really enjoyed my childhood because of this, and even until the present.

Enough of recalling the past, cause nowadays, there are more cool products being introduced. From gelato, seoul cane ice cream, fried ice cream, and snow creams. Mentioning snow creams, it happened that I found a snow cream shop here in Cagayan de Oro while I was scrolling my Facebook news feed. And that shop is Pengoo.
My officemates and I were so curious about Pengoo so we decided to try their snow creams, and that happened to be our bonding time too.
Located at Abejuela St, Divisoria Arcade (2nd floor of Jonies Chicken), Cagayan de Oro, Pengoo is a medium sized shop with mostly five tables and a number of chairs in it. It was our first time there so we were really excited upon entering the shop. There were 7 of us, so we occupied the two circular tables.

Then we were about to order our snow creams. You can choose from three sizes of cups with their respective prices 45-60-80. They have different flavors of shaved ice, toppings and drizzles. It’s up to you what combinations you prefer. But know that they also have what they call as Cool Creations, a prepared set of combinations that you can choose from. Pricing starts at 95php.

I had my snow cream composed of Chocolate-flavored Shaved Ice, Oreo Crumble, and Condensed Milk. I don’t know but I just chose this combination. All of us had medium-sized snow creams. Like kids, we enjoyed the whole of it. Overwhelmed with it's not-so-overpowering sweetness but at the same time, not bland. Just balanced for our sweet tooth.

So if you are fond of sweet and cool food trips, Pengoo is a must-to-go shop. From the kind staff, great ambiance and addicting snow creams, my officemates and I really had a great time laughing while our snow creams melt in our mouths and sharing silly stories. We can really attest to that.
