Halo-Halo

Halo-Halo is an ice cream treat in the Philippines and literally means "everything". The resort offered a Halo-Halo surprise and we decided that there was no better time to try this strange dessert. I say strange because literally everything is in this dish: chocolate ice cream, ice, milk, corn kernels, beans, corn flakes, rice puffs, sugar, jack fruit, buko, coconut, sweet Poi, caramelized flan, and a few other colorful things that the waitress didn't know the English word for. Bottoms up! We tried it once and while it wasn't terrible; even good for a few minutes, we decided we didn't need to have Halo-Halo ever again.
