Shaved ice layered with sweet beans, jellies, leche flan and ube - the cold, colourful way to finish a bowl of hot congee. Halo-halo means mix-mix, and that is the instruction.
Halo-halo is the best-known Filipino dessert for good reason. Shaved ice and milk go over a base of sweet preserved beans and jellies, then it is topped with leche flan and ube. You stir the whole thing together before the first spoonful, which is where the name comes from.
After a hot bowl of goto or lomi, the temperature swing is the whole point. Order it in at 806 Sargent Ave, or add it to a takeout order to finish the night properly.
