Halo-Halo
The infamous halo-halo is an easy crowd-pleaser. From locals to tourists, everybody loves a tall glass of… well, everything. “Halo” is the Tagalog word for “mix”. So this complex dessert’s name is literally “mix-mix”, because it’s exactly what the diner has to do to be able to enjoy it in all its deliciousness. Halo-halo is a mélange of crushed ice,nata de coco, beans, sago pearls, jelly, sweetened saba banana, sweet potato, coconut,ube(purple yam) jam, evaporated milk, leche flan, ube ice cream, jackfruit, and friedpinipig(flattened immature rice grains). How’sthatfor complex.
Buko Pandan
This dessert is as simple as it is delicious. With only five ingredients, Filipinos have managed to make a tropically perfect treat. Its most basic recipe only calls for shredded young coconut,pandan(screwpine) leaves, gelatin, cream and condensed milk. The result is a creamy, aromatic dessert, with chunks of pandan-flavored gelatin, especially delicious when served cold on a hot Philippine day.
Leche flan is the Philippines’ version of caramel pudding. With many varieties found all over the world, this won’t seem all that new to many. What people can expect from the Philippine version however, is its daring sweetness and richness that create a silky heaven for the palate.
Ensaymada is a favorite breakfast or snack for most Filipinos. It can be bought anywhere from a stall in the mall, in a bakeshop or even at a fast food court.
