📜 History

Halo-Halo, meaning "mix-mix" in Filipino, is the national dessert drink of the Philippines with roots in Japanese kakigori (shaved ice) brought to the islands during the pre-war period. Filipino vendors adapted the concept, adding local ingredients like sweet beans, coconut, jackfruit, and ube (purple yam). The drink evolved through the 20th century into the elaborate, colorful creation known today, representing the Filipino talent for creative culinary adaptation.
