Is it me ~ or is it the heat??

Can't stand the heat...just gotta have this cold delight 
~ my fave HALO-HALO,
 my "comfort food" for all times! ☺

Halo-Halo is a popular Filipino dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice and evaporated milk
 to which a blend of fruits and sweet preserves (like boiled sweet beans) are added,
 and then served in a tall glass or bowl.
 It is frequently topped with a scoop of ice cream.

Halo-Halo ingredients include:

 sugar palm fruit (kaong),

"coconut sport" or very soft coconut meat (macapuno),

jackfruit (langka),

mung beans (munggo),

banana-like plantain (saba),caramelized in sugar

purple yam (ube),

corn (mais),

coconut gelatin (nata de coco),

sweet potato (kamote),

dried young rice (pinipig), pounded and crushed
