| Chowkings' famous halo-halo |
If Malaysia has ais kacang, Korea has patbingsu and Japan has kakigori, Philiipines has "halo-halo". "Halo" ( hah-lo) in Filipino means "mix" , and if you google the 2 other shaved ice dessert mentioned earlier, you would agree that "halo-halo" has the richest mixture, that's why it's called halo-halo or mix-mix in literal translation. It is a mixture of shaved ice and evaporated milk added with boiled sweetened beans, banana, sago, macapuno, jackfruit, pinipig, and topped with leche flan, purple yam and/or ice cream. Nothing can be richer than that!
So, whenever in the Philippines, don't forget to order this sweet treat. It helps in beating the heat.
oh, even in this rainy weekend, I suddenly crave for one :)
