yes, it is indeed a top filipino dessert. I worked at Shangri-la’s Mactan Resort and Spa in Cebu for almost three years (as chef de partie for the pastry kitchen) and I’ve often watched over the lifestyle resto Tides where we did live cooking and food preparation, I manned the halo-halo corner and it never failed to marvel foreign and local tourists alike. I deliciously called it the National Dessert and I tooked delight in naming every ingredient and that act always wowed every guest, even the ones with non-adventurous palates.Halo-halo is at its greatest with the presence of sweetened sab-a bananas, deliciously made leche flan. I need to have a acquired taste for the toasted pinipig on my halo-halo, I am already comfortable with the cornflakes, but I know the real halo-halo would have the pinipig and most importantly, evaporated milk. No other milk would work. The size of ice flakes matter too, it would be a disaster if the crushed ice are of pea size chunks. At the hotel, we were contented with using bottled nata de coco, kaong, corn kernels, white and red monggo beans and halaya. I would suggest making the real halaya from scratch using boiled and mashed ube, (never the ube powder)

i love making halo-halo during summer months whether making at home or when we go up the cottage. Like what you said, i take shortcuts too, as most of the ingredients are now readily available in asian stores, it really makes it easy for us. I like mine with lots of langka, ube and leche flan!
