Halo-halo, a beloved and enduring dessert from the Philippines, is a delightful medley of flavors and textures. Its name, which translates to “mix-mix” in English, captures the essence of the dessert: a vibrant mixture of shaved ice, sweetened fruits, beans, jellies, and topped with leche flan, purple yam, and evaporated milk. This colorful and refreshing treat is not only a favorite among Filipinos but also a sought-after dessert by visitors, apart from other must-try Filipino dishes, especially during the sweltering summer months.
