Grats to all and thanks to the judges. All 3 of you were neck to neck in this contest

Lemme scratch my head on this one! : oD What kinda criteria are we judging on?

My guess is that it's based on how tasty it looks to whoever's judging

All this summer talk makes me sad as we rapidly approach winter here in the southern hemisphere.

When does the contest end?

June 15th, edited above

Halo-Halo. Its vaguely Chinese or Filipino in origin. We had this on Science Class when we studied mixtures.
We had the 'cheap' Halo-halo though. Not in a parfait glass. Just in a small plastic cylindrical cup. Yep.

Most of the ingredients are possibly rare out there. I separated the hard to finds.
Parfait glass, evaporated milk (or any sweet milk you have over there), shaved ice, ice cream, sweet corn kernels, banana pieces, corn flakes

Others (If you can find them)
Pearl Sago/Pearl Tapioca
coconut shavings/gelatinized coconut/coconut milk
jackfruit
purple yam
red mung beans

Wiki them.

[] Place the banana and coconut/purple yam/beans in the glass.
[] Put the shredded ice
[] Pour the milk. Any amount that you like. I suggest you put alot.
[] Cover with 1 or 2 scoops of Ice Cream. Chocolate seems to be a weird choice.
[] Put the kernels and the corn flakes.
[] If you want, cover it with sweet fruits/sweet things.

It's ready to be served. Halo-halo means mixed so just mix the ingredients before you take a taste.

You can ask littlemissy, she *is* Filipino.



There's a rectangular flan/custard slice. White balls are sago. Mung beans. Coconut (or possibly cheese) shreds. Those green things are either coconut gelatin or something totally unknown. Those red things are practically cherries or the same as those green things. Notice on this that everything is placed over the ice. Its okay. You mix it anyway.

Mung... Heheh... that's a funny word.

Oh and that recipe totally has my vote.

Darn, LGOD beat me to it (^_^)

The green things are just gelatin

And yes the halo-halo is very famous here, it's one of our best summer desserts, and since we only have two seasons (namely wet and dry) we get to enjoy it much of the year (^_^)
