Halo-Halo or Halohalo

It's because the summer season is already here to stay and going out could be expensive-, will cause you sunburned skin and migraine why not stay inside and enjoy Halo-halo instead?


By the way, Halo-Halo is a Filipino delicacy/dessert enjoyed way back then when ice was introduced to Manila. Its ingredients were mixtures of fruits boiled into water and sugar like langka, kaong, sweet beans sometimes they use sweet red beans, sweet potatoes, and many others. Milk and shaved ice make it extra special that makes me shiver after enjoying a full bowl of it πŸ˜πŸ˜€πŸ˜ he he he.


In other regions, Halo-halo varies its ingredients on whatever fruits available in season. Some put avocado, pinipig, gulaman, leche flan, ube or even ice cream. However different in fruit ingredients as long as there is milk and ice still is- best for me.


I also tasted a similar dessert-like halo-halo/haluhalo in Malaysia when I stayed there. They called it Ais kacang (Ice Katchang). Normally it is only shaved ice, milk, and red beans however ingredients also change from place to place, and as time goes by perhaps due to new generations that look for a different taste. I indeed like as well the Korean version of our halo-halo they called it Patbingsu. 

The normal Patbingsu only has 3 ingredients such as shaved ice, milk, and red bean paste, and yet as time goes on it also changes. The Patbingsu that I tasted from Angel n Kiss Korean Bakery got a lot of ingredients- peanuts, ice cream even cheesecake on it. The ingredients surprised me πŸ˜…, yet our very own halo-halo/halo-halo still the best for me and enjoyed by the many😊😊
