What’s cold, yummy, sweet and refreshing this summer?
None other than one of my favorite summer refreshments – halo-halo! This Filipino native delicacy literally means ‘mix-mix’ in English (halo means mix) and is a concoction of fruits (macapuno, jackfruit or nangka, ube, etc.), sweets (leche flan, kaong, nata de coco, beans and sago), pinipig with crushed ice and milk. It is best topped with ice cream. So cool and yummy!
Note: Photo above shows a bunch of Chowking halo-halos before they ended up in our tummies!
Wow…so yummylicious. We have a local version of this called Ice Kacang. Nice treat on a hot sunny day.
we don’t have it here in Finland.
Ahhhh! What can I say? I love summer because of Halo Halo! 😀
oh.. that’s so yummmmmyyyyy… pahingiiiiiiiii… 😉 i miss halo halo.. tsk.. we don’t have it here.
Haha funny note. I think you are correct to show them how they look before they go in the tummy, not after.
Sorry just me. It made me laugh.
My Bug life:
yummy indeed, though it also makes me shiver when i’m half-finished with my bowl of cold halo-halo.
Cookietravels:
you can make one during winter… hehehe… scoop some snow from outside and mix with milk and whatever fruits you have there.
KCee:
