About Our Halo-Halo

Halo-Halo is more than just a dessert – it's a Filipino cultural icon that brings joy to people of all ages. At ChowKeni, we prepare our Halo-Halo with authentic ingredients and traditional methods to ensure every serving is as close to the Philippines as you can get. We start with a tall glass filled with finely shaved ice, creating the perfect cold, fluffy base. Then we layer in a colorful array of ingredients: sweetened red beans, sweetened white beans, sweet plantains, nata de coco (coconut jelly), kaong (sugar palm fruit), macapuno (sweet coconut strips), and sweetened jackfruit.

What makes our Halo-Halo truly special is the attention to detail in every component. We top each serving with a generous slice of our house-made leche flan – a silky-smooth caramel custard that adds richness and elegance. The final touch is a large scoop of authentic ube ice cream, made with real purple yam for that distinctive sweet, nutty flavor and vibrant purple color. We drizzle everything with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk for added creaminess. The key to enjoying Halo-Halo is in its name – mix everything together thoroughly before eating! As you stir, the shaved ice begins to melt, the ube ice cream swirls through creating purple ribbons, and all the ingredients combine into a sweet, cold, absolutely refreshing treat that's uniquely Filipino.

Perfect Pairings

Halo-Halo is the perfect refreshing dessert to enjoy after a hearty Filipino meal. It pairs wonderfully as a sweet ending after our savory dishes like Adobo, Sisig, or Crispy Pata. It's also delicious on its own as an afternoon treat or snack. Many Filipinos enjoy Halo-Halo as a refreshing pick-me-up during hot summer days. Don't forget to mix everything together before enjoying!
