halo-halo

Manila ice medley

Halo-halo is a Filipino shaved ice dessert layered with sweetened beans, jellies, fruits, and other ingredients, typically topped with evaporated milk and ice cream.

The name means "mix-mix" in Tagalog—you stir everything together before eating.

We stopped for halo-halo after the beach.
