Does anyone know where I can get an ice grinder so I can make my own halo halo at home? My kids love it but gets expensive if we have to make a trip to the Filipino restaurant every other day.

Happy Bday MM.

You should try making camoteque with minatamis na bao instead of sugar…. it’s different (sticky and soft) and it has that distinct coconut flavor… different yet truly filipino…

First things first.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MM. I was just searching about lanzones and I stumbled into this site. What a delighful experience to read all about our favorit meriendas. I truly miss home now! I haven’t had bananacue or kamotecue in 20 years. I’ve had turon but they aren’t as good as the ones my mother used to make when I was growing up. Thanks for the tips on how to make them. I will certainly try that with my kids. They love Filipino food especially my 8 year old son. He can finish one whole fried tilapia all on his own. The head attached to the fish doesn’t bother him. :-)

Happy Birthday Marketman! A birthday EB? *hint*

When we were kids, I remember watching our suki cooking banana cue and kamote cue.

first thing I notice is that she uses lots of oil. Heated but not smoking, she puts brown sugar in the oil. When it starts to melt, she adds the banana/kamote. tpos halo ng halo. when she thinks its all cooked, she adds a little more bit of brown sugar to coat, to get that crunchy, crystally, coating.

yum, yum yum.

Happy birthday Marketman. May we know how old you are? Hehe, just kidding. But come to think of it, you’re semi-retired but you and the mrs. definitely do not look anywhere near retirement age. Or semi-retirement age for that matter, which I imagine would be from 50 upwards.

Hmm, is this a coincidence or what? The other day I was just thinking of writing you to ask when is your birthday, and here I am, reading their birthday greetings! Happy birthday Mr. MM!
