iceberg halo halo (mix mix)
halo halo is a popular philippine dessert (featured in anthony bourdain's parts unknown television series) which is a descendant of the japanese dessert kakigori, an shaved ice flavoured with sweetener similar to a snow cone and topped with seasonal fruits. it is said that during the colonial days (early 1900's), japanese peddlers will sell these snacks in the late afternoon to ward off the summer heat. eventually local sweetened fruits and other condiments were added to these ice delights thus the halo halo was born. halo halo is now very much filipino, as any locals will profess and any kid, and adult, will cherish many fond memories with their halo halo. many places in the philippines have their own local version of the halo halo but i consider the iceberg halo halo, but bit pricey at USD2.70, as one of the best!
