Monday's Bread Bowl: Dessert Stew of Sorts

Hello, halo halo – a tropical snow ball effect

Halo halo is a Filipino dessert shake that has traveled across the Pacific. Shaved ice and ice cream (mango, French vanilla, or ube, which is taro) are requisites. The duo is layered with fruit salad to create an unexpected treat. The salad mix usually includes candied jack fruit, red beans, and young coconut. Evaporated milk is added for an extra creamy finish. Our recent discovery in Guam, Mt Lam Lam Sno n’ Ice Cream, also adds bits of real taro and what tastes like toasted corn nuts to its version. On the mainland U.S., the icy dessert stew may be found at Filipino restaurants. Nelly also suggest trying Mt Lam Lam's shave ice surprise.
