CrAvInG fOr DeSsErT?….HaLo-HaLO a Filipino dEssert
Summer is around the corner…For a tropical country like the Philippines, the country is blessed with rich variety of fruits and grains that would satisfy the cravings of everyone’s tongue.
Halo-Halo is one of the most and I must say the most famous delicacy during the summer season in the Philippines. Made with different kinds of fruits like banana,macapuno , jackfruit ,purple yum, kaong and even red beans and jellies made in different colors. A kind of banana termed in the Philippines as “Saba” is cooked in caramelize sugar, same thing with the macapuno,jackfruit and red beans. Purple yum or termed in the philippines as “ube” is masterfully cooked mixing it with sugar, milk and goes to a long process of mixing to achieve a creamy yet paste like texture. Another ingredient that will truly excite your appetite is the “leche flan” which is a like a custard made with egg yolks and sugar.
With the hot atmosphere that summer do provide. Halo-halo is done altogether with the mix of finely crushed ice,rich creamy milk and the variety of these fruits added on top is a scoop of your favorite ice cream flavor. Surely this is one of the best dessert you’ll ever eat. The taste will satisfy your stomach yet will looked lovely with your eyes for this is done with art. With the combination of different colors of the fruits, one will say looks good taste good.
happy eating everyone.
