Spices: Milky Way's Halo Halo

I'm not really a dessert person but if a tall glass or bowl of halo halo is place in front of me, I'll definitely gorge on it. There are a lot of places that claims to serve the best halo halo but there is one resto who claims to serve the best since the early 1960s, Milky Way.

Milky Way

I've tried different versions of halo halo from different establishments and everyone has their own favorites. In my opinion, a good halo halo should contain more than three main ingredients, if it doesn't it should be only known as a con yelo.  Another important component of the dessert is the crushed or shaved ice, it has to be powdery smooth and pleasant to the mouth. A Chinese fast food chain used to have a 100k peso machine just to make ice for their halo halo.

Halo Halo

With everything said, I can say that Milky Way's halo halo is arguably the best halo halo found in the metro. It has every component for it be called a good halo halo. Ingredients consists of sweet beans, nata de coco, garbanzos, macapuno, langka, ube, leche flan, pinipig, milk and with topped homemade ube ice cream . The smooth powdery shaved ice is made using a traditional ice shaver. I like how no sugar or syrup was added, it just had the right amount of sweetness. Most importantly, what I think set Milky Way's halo halo apart is their version has a inexplicable malinamnam taste and flavor.

Ever since I tasted Milky Way's version, it has been my benchmark for a great tasting halo halo. And so far, it still reigns supreme as my all time favorite.

      hi albert! yes! I already have and I still do order it. though tasty, it just have 3 ingredients in it, it's more like a con yelo dessert than a halo halo.

      Hi eunice! It's just along Pasay Road near Greenbelt. Just look for Azuthai or Tsukiji restaurant and head upstairs.
