Halo-Halo

What do you get when you mix shaved ice and evaporated milk with various Ingredients like boiled garbanzo beans, sugar fruit (kaong), fresh coconut, plantains caramelized in sugar, jackfruit (langkâ), gulaman, tapioca, yam, and crushed corn flakes?

I was skeptical, but in keeping with my "adventurous spirit" here and not wanting to miss out on anything, I decided to try a bite.

Needless to say, there was not a drop left and I can understand why this Filipino dessert is so popular here! Btw, in case you're wondering, "halo" is tagalog for "mix"...
