Finding the best Halo-Halo in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Halo-Halo I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled bagoong shrimp paste with genuine knowledge and the subtly sweet and sour result was noticeably superior.

kamayan feasts eaten with hands from banana leaves are experiencing a cultural revival. The winning restaurant had the right a Manila restaurant abroad feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. fresh calamansi juice was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Halo-Halo is made properly it's a completely different experience.
