Halo-Halo, My Favorite Dessert, What's Yours?

My everyday routine starts with baking and cake decorating. Below are some of the recent cakes I decorated and also my favorite desserts in Indiana. I always bring crunch cakes on my friend’s birthday.

Most of my friends like Strawberry Crunch Cake. I got a lot of compliments from it.

But whenever I go back home to the Philippines, there is only one famous dessert that all the 7,000 Islands know and it’s no other than Halo-Halo or in English translated as “Mix-Mix”. Of all the desserts I have tried, for me, still nothing beats my Hometown’s dessert, Halo-Halo. This dessert will always be my most favorite!

Halo-Halo has crushed ice, evaporated milk, Ube Ice Cream, Leche Flan, Pinipig Rice, Sweet Beans, Sago, Tapioca Pearls, Gulaman, Coconut Strips, Fruit Slices such as Jackfruit and Plantains, Nata de Coco, and Cheese. No wonder that it is everyone’s favorite to think of the texture and the taste, this dessert has so much in it!

Now, I wonder what are my friends favorite desserts? @sparekh @rizbab28 @Ale_003 @ShakilAK @Austinelewex @OliverLeeKIWI @OlgaKlimchik @Saiyen @Ant_Bad_Yogi @Nyainurjanah and many more. Everyone is welcome to comment as I can only tag up to 10 but would love to hear from all of you!

We have the similar dessert made in Bangladesh. Its called “Faluda”.Its consist of ice, noodles, fruits (specially apple, banana, grapes), card and milk.

About my favourite desert ! My favourite desert is sweet card. Another thing is called “jardda” made of rice, sugar, kissmiss and food colour. It’s also traditional desert that serve in our marriage program. Another of my favourite desert is “Firni” ,made of special small rice, sugar and milk. Its so delicious!!!

@Reisen Wow, I would love to try Halo-Halo. I have been to the Philippines long long time ago but I haven’t had it. I will look for it next time I visit your country.

My favorite dessert is this.

Have you tried it?
