After my daughter’s graduation on April 05, she told me that she wants to apply for a teaching position through the job fair conducted in the place where I am also working. I accompanied her to the place where the job fair is being conducted and left her there while I go to the office. I fetched her in my mother’s house in the afternoon and we went home together.
The weather is too hot! It’s officially summer in our place. We decided to have a snack in a certain restaurant. We ordered some pasta and for dessert, I ordered a bowl of sweetened fruits with shaved ice, evaporated milk and ice cream on top. We call this ‘halo-halo’.

I think I have gone through all of your posts 🙂
Lovely desert, fruit salad is very easy to make
So sweet colours. Nice one
I do not like ice cream. That’s why I do not know it by species.
I’ve never had it, but it looks familiar
There is a similar type of food in Korea and Singapore. I just forgot the name. This kind of food is popular in our country, especially during the summer.
we all have to find ways to beat the heat. I prefer spicy foods…
So colorful, it looks amazing!
Yes, Ellie! The different fruits, sweetened beans and other ingredients such as ice cream, makes this dessert colorful and enticing. Thank you for dropping by.
But it’s very nice to sweeten, dear Sharon … it looks wonderful … I’m crazy about sweet things
Thank you, Lado. Yes, this is a sweet and refreshing dessert because it has a shaved ice. Do you have a similar food in your place?
We have ice cream as much as you want … I do not understand what the ice means, dear Sharon
This food contains very thin shavings of ice, or crushed ice, flavored with syrup, evaporated milk and other sweeteners. When evaporated milk is poured over the shaved ice, it will become soft and crispy which is very good to eat.
This must be a really great taste … I do not know if you get something like that with us, dear friend
This looks very tasty. I tis spring here now.
Thank you for dropping by, Carol. Yes, I know it is spring in some parts of the world. We don’t have that season in our country. We only have a rainy season and summer. We don’t have snow so we are happy to have shaved ice as part of our dessert.
Thank you Tasartcraft. Yes, this is sweet, delicious and refreshing.
I’m a dessert fan. This looks very tasty, I see it for the first time
Thank you Vidocka. Halo-halo is a Filipino word which means mix-mix. Halo-halo is made from shaved ice and a lot of sweet toppings. It’s a very popular dessert in our place, especially during the summer.
Looks cooling!! hehe we’ve something similar …
on “street-level” we’ve Ice Kachang …
and then more expensive dessert shops selling such desserts
Hi, Alibb! Thank you for dropping by. That’s good to know. I also tasted a similar dessert from a Korean restaurant. When Filipinos started patronizing K-pop and Korean telenovelas, they started to place shops and restaurants in our place. It’s a good thing as we have a chance to experience foods from other countries.
