Razon’s More Than Just Halo-Halo #23

Is it the finely shaved ice? The perfectly made leche flan? The creamy milk? The sweet macapuno? The yummy bananas that are a meal on its own? These tag lines are what made Razon’s halo-halo famous. We will surely go to Pampanga to let ourselves dive in the real Kapampangan world. Anyway, the Gcousins went to the Mall of Asia (MOA) and we decided that we had diverse choices on what we want to partake for lunch.

Thank goodness because there is a branch here of Razon’s and we had the Sizzling Bulalo (Php240) and Sizzling Sisig (Php177).

They were, okay. But we were so excited with the Star of the show and tadaaaa..

First of all, we need to know what is a halo-halo. Halo-halo (from "halo" = mix) is a favorite Filipino dessert or snack.  It is basically a mixture of sweet preserved beans(red beans, chick peas), coconut meat (macapuno), jackfruit (langka), pounded dried rice (pinipig), sweet yam (ube), cream flan (leche flan), shreds of sweetened plantain (saba), filled with crushed ice, milk (or coconut milk) and  topped with ice cream.   The halo-halo basically is sweet, creamy, and a filling dessert. 

This Filipino concoction  is quite popular during the hot summer months (March-June) in the country, just as ice cream is.   It is usually served in tall, clear  glasses that show its colorful contents that tempt one's taste buds.  One's thirst is even made worse by  the perspiring ice-filled glass, and the melting ice cream on top.  

Now we do know what the real secret is behind the amazing halo-halo. Goat’s milk. Can Razon’s please do come to Iloilo asap? Thank You. If not, see you in Pampanga.
