One of my most indulging activities here in El Nido is to eat halo-halo every other day. I try my best not to eat it every day though in fear of becoming diabetic at the end of my one month stay here.
Halo-halo is a Filipino delicacy of assorted sweetened/candied fruits topped with shaved ice and milk. The basic ingredients here include: banana, sweet potato, nata de coco, kaong, pinipig (rice crispies), sago(), gulaman (jelly), langka (jackfruit), ube (yam), garbanzos and white beans.
The more expensive halo-halo in the city contain more ingredients. Sometimes they add corn kernels,mongo, custard and ice cream to make it more sweeter and flavourful.
It’s a bowl of goodness that will definitely shoot up your sugar level to heaven.
And for only P15 here, who could resist such offer.
If you’re a foreign visitor travelling around the Philippines, make sure you try this food. You’ll surely enjoy it.
Halo halo sound like it could really cause some trouble with weight gain! LOL but I bet is does taste great. Was the chocolate on top of the one in the bottom photo.
the thing on top is ube (yam)
im not a big fan of it though…
wow, 15 lang! samin 25 tapos parang hindi edible. =))
hahaha would love to see a pic nung halo halo na hindi mukhang edible
sarap din ng halo halo sa kanto kanto lang.
pero razon’s is really the shiznit..atleast for me =)
I’ve been craving this for so long that I went straight to Chowking for my halohalo fix. Of course, nothing beats the one I used to eat in the palengke in Davao.
i agree dennis, nothing beats the halohalo found in local markets or local neighborhood
wow! that’s cheap! i refer to it as mix-mix when I let my foreigner friends try it. hehehe. nagcrave tuloy ako ng halo2x ngayon!
sarap ng halohalo
Great flavours! In the Philis I loved that Coke is so cheap, thought that Jollibee kinda sucks, and found eating Balut quite an experience! Have you tried it? It is an awkward meal for sure…
i’ve tried balut but im not a big fan of it… i love halohalo though and hate to say it but i love jollibee chickenjoy
I so agree. I miss halo-halo in the Philippines. My favorite is one with the real ube, real leche flan and more ube ice cream on top. Sarap!!
sarap talaga…
mura pa 
halo-halo is something we can be proud of, uniquely Filipino!
I looove halo-halo! And like my (native/local) boyfriend, I’m always on the lookout for my top 3 favorites. Razon’s style is pretty good and I also like the Coconut House halo-halo in Quezon City circle!!!
they say Razon is one of the best… but a little costly though…
