1. HALO-HALO - This is the most popular dessert in Filipino cuisine. The classic halo-halo composes of the best kind food items you normally would not think is suitable for a dessert such as gulaman, corn flakes, rice crispies, nata de coco, ube, bananas, and more. These items are all placed upon a bed of crushed ice, drizzled with evaporated milk and topped with a scoop of ube or vanilla ice cream. Now, I'm hungry. I just ate. -_-
2. Suman at Latik - This is delicacy made of glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk (suman), drizzled with a thick syrupy caramelized coconut cream (latik). This is my favorite to eat in the morning. Yum!!!
3. Turon - This is a made of thinly sliced bananas (preferably saba or Cardaba bananas) and a slice of jackfruit, coated with brown sugar, rolled in a spring roll wrapper and fried. You can also partner it with a caramel sauce. Oh dear. I want to eat my monitor now.
4. Leche Flan - A very simple dessert but stunning! This is a staple of all Philippine parties and fiestas. It’s a simple custard made from eggs, milk and sugar, with the golden brown garnish of a thin layer of molten white sugar on top. It also goes well with the halo-halo. Now, I'm craving.
5. Pastillas - This is made from evaporated milk or milk powder with some mixtures to make it like a dough. The dough will be formed into small shape and be coated with sugar.
Are you hungry now? Cause I am. Haha. :D Anyway, these are also the desserts I won't forget in my life. These highlight my childhood. Thank you for reading. Til' next blog! :D
