Considering the Copa Suites Manila Hotel in Manila?

HALO-HALO ("snow cone" extraordinaire) by Ric
Try HALO-HALO, which is a frozen dessert based upon shaved ice with different kinds of fruit, macapuno (coconut meat), and pinipig (toasted rice). If you order 'halo-halo especial' it comes with a scoop of ice cream and a cube of leche flan (custard). Not only a study in flavours, it is often an architectural miniature that seems to defy gravity. The protocol is to eat from the bottom to the top. It is usually served in the late afternoon around the time of merienda, c. 4 - 6 pm. (See SHAVE ICE on my Hawai'i page).The beautiful sunsets over Manila Bay as seen from the lanai (terrace) of the historic Manila Hotel.
