The halo-halo is a multicolored ice considered as a Philippine dish and dessert served to the locals and the tourists who visit the country. It is a colorful dessert because of the ingredients with at least four colors that gives out a different taste.
Indeed it is a food that moves away from the ordinary by the mixture of many fruits and other foods that have never thought to prepare as a dessert. For the preparation of a halo-halo you will need these ingredients: red beans, peas, fruit sugar palm, coconut sprouts, bananas caramelized sugar, jackfruit, gulaman, tapioca, coconut cream, mashed potato and rice Javen.
As for the presentation of this dessert depending on what you prefer you can also use a tall glass where you need to put first the various fruits along with the beans, then add crushed ice and sprinkle with sugar. Next, cover these with milk leche flan and ube. You can also add ice cream on top.
What is very fascinating is the variety of colors present in the dessert: violet, red, white, green and more.
The Philippines is an ideal destination for culinary tourism especially for tourists who care for new flavors and culinary traditions. Halo halo is highly recommended because it has a unique flavor with its seemingly strange presentation.
