| Halo-Halo | | | |
It's not your phone ringing but it's a especial Philippine delicacy eaten by legions of Pin@ys migrants in their host countries or what we call now country of destination or new homes. Halo-halo is summer treat made of sweet "Panghalo" or ingredients like cooked and sweetened red or white kidney beans, caramelized plantains, garbanzos, "Kaong" sugar palm fruit, "macapuno" coconut sport, sweet potatoes, gelatine, sweet corn, jackfruit, and "Buko" young coconut meat. Shaved ice are added and evaporated or fresh milk is pour into the mixture. Toppings of leche flan, ice cream and ube jam add to the especialty of this Philippine all time merienda favorites. As alternative to using shaved ice with milk, many Pin@ys are freezing packed milk or milk in cartons and let them thaw a bit for easy mixing or halo-halo. Try it and enjoy your summer!
