Day 21: Halo Halo Ice Cream from Casa Manila

Halo Halo is a Filipino dessert which quite translates to 'mix mix' as you are given taro ice cream, with toppings on the side, and you mix them together yourself (if you see in the pictures, one is pre- and one is post-mixing. You can see why you have to mix it yourself. You would never want to be presented with the grey mush). Typical toppings include condensed milk, kidney beans, garbanzos, sugar palm fruit (kaong), coconut sport (macapuno), plantains caramelized in sugar, jackfruit (langkâ), gulaman, tapioca/sago, and even flan! So delicious. But so sweet and the serving is enormous, so it's definitely shareable. Amazing stuff!

  1. Hmm... you're right. That purple-gray mush is much less visually appealing. But so yummy. Especially in the summer.
