A staple in most dessert menus in the Philippines, this literally means "mix mix" and is a type of shaved ice dessert with an assortment of sweet ingredients plus evaporated milk. The ingredients vary but the one here features sweetened beans, jelly (agar agar type), jackfruit, halayang ube (purple yam jam), leche flan (something like a creme caramel), and a scoop of ube (purple yam) ice cream.

I personally prefer halo halo with sweetened saba banana (the cooking kind of banana), tapioca pearls, pinipig (rice crispies) and more halayang ube!
