halo halo Archives - Mommy Pehpot

As promised I would write about my favorite Halo Halo. Actually it is not my favorite but hubby’s. According to Kayil, in a particular branch, we have eaten there thrice. In Robinson’s branch, countless. Have a clue on what kind of Halo Halo I am talking about? That’s Razon’s halo halo I am talking about. Since hubby tasted it, he was kinda addicted to it. Why not? It really is delicious. Aside from that, the ingredients are simple. Can you imagine halo halo with only banana and macapuno in it? Oh yes you can, because that is the halo halo Razon’s is serving. Then there’s the ice. The ice in Razon’s Halo halo is amazing. It has an almost smooth texture and a different taste. The sweetness of the whole mixture is just right too. It won’t leave you begging for a glass of water. If there is one place that hubby wants to go right now, that would be in Gagua, the place where Razon’s originated. He just can’t get enough of it.

If you are still unaware of Razon’s, here are some places where you can find them:
Razon’s in Greenhills
Razon’s in Sta Rosa
Razon’s in Cubao
Razon’s in Robinson’s Galeria

Just be careful though, I have heard there has been a lot of imitations going on. The Razon’s that we liked most is the one that says Razon’s of Gagua.

Simplicity aside, my kids also love the halo halo in Max’s. The serving is balanced, not too much ice, not to much ingredients. if only they wold stop using carabao’s milk on their halo halo. I did not like the after taste the milk gives. For a mouth watering halo halo, have you tried Chowking’s halo halo. From the photos it really is mouth watering. The ingredients look really tasty and the glass looks like a real feast, Upon tasting it, you would wish, you ordered water instead, that’s why mouth watering.LOL

As for me, nothing beats home made halo halo. Fruit of my labor, from ice to the every last drop of its ingredients. Cooked by my bare hand, from lanka, to ube to leche flan (except the milk of course). The hard works of crushing the ice.. hehe..what more, you can choose what ever or how much ingredients you want.. beat this:

Summer.Heat.Beach. FOOD

If there is one thing in summer that I really like, that is the FOOD. I just can’t get enough of summer foods. Tropical fruits are abundant during this seasons, The fruit is on their cheapest and sweetest state. How can you maintain a bathing suit friendly figure with all the foods available during this time? LOL

Mangoes. Mangoes is at its sweetest during summer. It is cheaper too. Ripe Mangoes paired with grilled fish and steaming hot rice, somewhere along the beach.. ahh that is just perfect no. Or how about green mangoes and shrimp paste? Just thinking about it now, I am salivating.. I want some now.. LOL

I also like watermelon, love it specially when eaten with soup based foods. Love the redness of it yay! But hey, have you seen yellow watermelon? I have tasted some, but I still prefer the red one. There’s a vendor somewhere in Tarlac that sells yellow watermelon, I will post a pic next week.

Then there’s melon, I specially like it in juice. Whenever I bought melon, I always make a juice out of it. One of the best drink during summer. Are hungry now?LOL

Hey I am not even half of it.. LOL How about Halo Halo? For my English readers, Halo Halo is a dessert here in the Philippines. It is composed of different sweets. Sweetened banana, sweetened jack fruit, taro jam, filled with ice and milk. It is a must eat during summer time. Almost every block here, there is a halo halo vendor you can find. Guys, where is your favorite halo halo? As for me, I will post it next time.

OK I will stop here, I am just teasing, and hoping I could ruin your diet, because mine is so ruined.
