Since it's my birthday, and I miss halo-halo, I bought one from Max's Restaurant well of course aside from Max's Chicken where the restaurant is known for. Halo-halo (from Tagalog word halò, "mix") is a popular Filipino dessert that is a mixture ofshaved ice and evaporated milk to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits, and served in a tall glass or bowl. Ingredients include boiled kidney beans, garbanzos, sugar palm fruit (kaong), coconut sport(macapuno), and plantains caramelized in sugar, jackfruit (langkâ), gulaman, tapioca or sago,nata de coco, sweet potato (kamote), pounded crushed young rice (pinipig). In terms of arrangement, most of the ingredients (fruits, beans, and other sweets) are first placed inside the tall glass, followed by the shaved ice. This is then sprinkled with sugar, and topped with either (or a combination of) leche flan, purple yam (ube halaya), or ice cream. Evaporated milk is poured into the mixture upon serving.
