The famous Filipino dessert with shaved ice, sweet beans, flan, tapioca, preserved coconut, evaporated milk in fact traces its origins from Japan, (Kakigori) and Malaysia (Ais Kacang).
And one of the institutions that serves the best halo-halo is the famous Little Quiapo, one of the oldest restaurants in Metro Manila since 1949.
I get my halo-halo fix from Little Quiapo BF. Even when the traffic is a killer along BF Paranaque, I bravely troop to this place because besides from Digman (Cavite), they're one of the rare places that still serve traditional ingredients not found in other halo-halos. Little Quiapo's Halo-halo is the real deal with its crushed pinipig, macapuno, kaong, sweet beans, ube halaya (purple yam jam), jackfruit, leche flan, ube ice cream and sweet potato/ kamote, etc.. Where others have scrimped on ingredients, LQ have retained its winning recipe.

Other notable treats that can complement your halo-halo?
The Palabok! Little Quiapo's version is very saucy and you can tell that they didn't scrimp on ingredients. Plus one order can be had for a low price of 83 pesos. Can you believe it?
Your trip to Little Quiapo is not complete without this... their famous Tokwa't Baboy
98 pesos for half order, just look at the chunk of pork on the fragrant soy sauce.
The tokwa is a bit crispy as well, crunchy crispy not hard crispy. This is just too yummy.
If you're not a halo-halo fan, how about trying the mais con hielo?
