John Roy - Abenaza - BlogMy web site is so fresh. The paint is still wet, but stay tuned, because I have lots of personal things, specifically about what is happening day-to-day, that I will keep updating daily.

Every year when summer came, Pinoys are fond of eating cold food to beat the heat. You will notice that there are many stalls selling something popular during this time. Do you have a guess what they are selling? I’ll give you a clue, it has many ingredients and has ice on it. Thats right! I’m talking about Filipinos favorite food the HALO-HALO. Halo-Halo is one of the traditional food you will see in every corner of Manila. It has many ingredients that made it so addicting. It has Banana (Saba) , Pinipig, Ube (UBE halaya) , Camote, Tapioca Balls, Mango, Nata De Coco, Kaong, Ice Cream, Leche Flan, Sugar, Milk, Buko and crushed ice. Regular Halo-Halo lack some ingredients like the mango, ice cream and leche flan. But some stores like Chowking have complete ingredients and also have more tricks and ingredients added to make a one special kind of it. Many provinces here in the Philippines are famous for there delicious Halo-Halo like Rizal. Commonly it costs 10-20 peso but wen you uy it in stores it will double is price.

Another all time favorite is the Ice cream or sorbetes. It is very famous among children. There are Ice Cream which are sold by cart and this is sold by a “sorbetero” and it is called as Dirty Ice Cream. It isn’t called Dirty Ice Cream beause its dirty it is because of 2 reasons; one, it is a street food and second, the process of making it does not have any machine involve meaning it includes human interference. Dirty Ice cream’s price ranges from 5-10 peso Mamang Sorbetero is a person you can see all around the Metro like in the parks, subdivisions, churches, amusement parks and many more. Like many Ice Cream stores the Dirty Ice Cream offers many kinds flavor like mango, ube, strawberry, cheese, chocolate, melon and rocky road. His cart is composed of only 2 flavors. If you like more ice cream then there are many shops around. Two of the famous producer of ice cream are Magnolia and Selecta.
