Summertime is here, and almost everyone I know is talking about halo-halo—some even boasting about finding the best spot to enjoy it.
Halo-halo is a beloved Filipino dessert made with crushed ice or snow ice, layered with a medley of sweetened local fruits, and topped with rich ice cream and creamy leche flan. A generous drizzle of evaporated milk ties all the flavors together, making every spoonful a delightful experience.
Back in my adolescent years in the province, halo-halo stalls would pop up on almost every street corner during the summer. One year, my friends and I even tried our hand at selling it ourselves, hoping to make some extra money.
These days, if you have an ice crusher and access to fruit preserves, making halo-halo at home is easy. But isn’t it more fun to gather with friends in a cozy café and catch up over a tall, icy glass of this refreshing treat?
For me, monthly meet-ups with my sister wouldn’t be complete without stopping by our favorite spot for a delicious serving of halo-halo.
Recently, I invited some friends to a well-known place in town that serves one of the best versions of this iconic dessert. We had a great time, and as always, halo-halo did exactly what it does best—keeping us cool while bringing us together.
