Last week, I had dinner at
Chowking (one of my fave fast food), they serve healthy fast food, yet also delicious and cheap. I was wondering when I ordered Halo-Halo Ice, why do they call it Halo-Halo? I mean I thought Halo is Hello, but I guess I was wrong. So here is the source I've found.
From Wikipedia :
"Halo-halo (
from Tagalog word halò, "mix") is a popular Filipino dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice and milk to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits, and served cold in a tall glass or bowl.
In terms of arrangement, most of the ingredients (fruits, beans, and other sweets) are first placed inside the tall glass, followed by the shaved ice. This is then sprinkled with sugar, and topped with either (or a combination of) leche flan, ube halaya, or ice cream. Condensed or evaporated milk is poured into the mixture upon serving."
Now I get it why the ice not named as Hi, because actually Halo is not Hello :p
Folow me
