Come to Ice Blink if you want to try a different kind of halo halo.
No, this is not your normal halo halo. While that wonderful dessert varies from restaurant to restaurant, and from town to town, and each places claims to have the most decadent one yet, halo-halo is almost always made with crushed ice, beans of various sorts, rice crispies and flan.
The Ice Blink version of Halo-halo differs from the usual in three important ways:
- the ice in the dessert is shaved, not crushed. The halo-halo here is therefore much smoother dessert.
- there are, as far as I can tell, no beans
- grated cheese is a key ingredient. As strange as it might sound, mixing in grated cheese with the other halo-halo ingredients actually works
The Ice Blink halo-halo can be ordered with and without ice cream. If you are unsure if you will like halo-halo, get the one with ice cream. Worst case scenario you get one scoop of ube ice cream and one scoop of mango ice cream on top of your halo-halo. If you do like halo-halo though, order the straight up no ice cream version for the full on treatment. Do stay away from the chocolate halo-halo though. read more
