Halo Halo or Ice Kachang ? we serve both



Halo-halo (from Tagalog halo, “mix”) is a popular Filipino dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice, milk, and sugar, to which is added various sweet beans and fruits, and generally served cold in a tall glass especially created for hot climates. It can be served after meals like a traditional dessert, or as a delicious treat in the middle of a long, hot summer afternoon. The eclectic combination of fruits makes halo halo great fun for a summer get-together. In singapore we have the ice kachang Chinese:红豆冰 literally means red bean ice, Malay:ais kacang literal translation is ice beans In the past, it really consist of shaved ice and red beans, but with the improved taste of Singaporeans, other ingredients are added into it all kind of topping like durian. Today's ice kacang is now with most ingredients found in the bowl and a mountain of shaved ice is put on top of it. Syrups of at least 3 different colors (Green, Yellow and Red) and a generous dose of condensed milk is drizzled onto the ice to excite diners' visuals.
