Summer Mix Mix Now Available at Main Street


Halo-halo also called Summer Mix-mix is a popular cold dessert in Iloilo made up of crushed iceevaporated milk or coconut milk, and various ingredients including ube jam (ube halaya) sago gulaman (agar), boiled taro or soft yams in cubes, leche flan, gelatin, slices or portions of fruit preserves and other root crop preserves. The dessert is topped with a scoop of ube or mango ice cream. It is usually prepared in a tall clear glass and served with a long spoon. Halo-halo is considered to be the unofficial national dessert of the Philippines. The term "halo-halo" translates to "mixed" in English because the dessert is meant to be mixed before being consumed. This spelling has come to describe any object or situation composed of a similar, colorful combination of ingredients.
