The Tale of Halo-Halo
Halo-halo, meaning 'mix-mix' in Tagalog, is believed to have evolved from Japanese kakigori-style shaved ice desserts introduced by Japanese immigrants to the Philippines in the early 20th century. It was later Filipinized with ingredients like ube, sweet beans, and leche flan.
