halo halo

I've been in Manila for four days, and so far my only complaint is the weather. It's so freaking hot over here that not having AC should be illegal! It's a good thing there are so many desserts out here to keep me cool. We headed out to The Mall of Asia on our first day here to check out the shopping scene, but mainly to stay away from the blazing sun. After loading up on some caffine to nurse our jetlagged minds, we hit up Chow King for some halo halo. Halo halo is a combination of sweet beans, jello, jackfruit, leche flan, tapioca, rice crispy flakes, ube and coconut ice cream on top of a blend of shaved ice and sweet milk. I'll probably have halo halo every day...or some thing similar to keep me cool in the 97 degree weather.
