EN: halo-halo (Filipino shaved ice dessert)
The ultimate Pinoy summer survival kit in a glass. It's a chaotic mix of everything sweet and wonderful, just like a Filipino family reunion. You've got your beans, jellies, fruits, shaved ice, milk, and a crown of leche flan. The national symbol of 'Kahit ano, basta masarap!' (Anything, as long as it's delicious!).
Tagalog, reduplication of 'halo' (mix).
ROOT MEANING: mix, ingredient, mixture
