Their shaved ice dessert looks as pretty as it tastes good. It’s the perfect palate cleanser, especially after finishing a plate of Aristocrat’s equally famous barbecues.Īddress: Toyota Asian Cultural Centre, Magsaysay Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City (and other branches) Facebook: Cafe Via MareĬafe Via Mare specializes in all things good and delicious about Filipino cuisine so it doesn’t come as a surprise at all that their version of halo-halo ranks as one of the best in the metro.

What’s suprising (and dare we say, even magical) about it, however, is how every glass is never overwhelming, even with an overflowing helping of ice cream on top of it. The biggest pull of their version is how generous they are with the toppings-you can definitely expect to get more chew than slurp from this with its mix of red jellies, saging na saba, langka, sweet beans, macapuno, the works. Special shout out also to its crunchy pinipig which provides the perfect contrast to the chewy ingredients in the mix.Īddress: 146 Jupiter Street corner Saturn Street, Bel-Air Village, Makati City (and other branches) Facebook: The Aristocrat RestaurantĪristocrat is famous for many iconic dishes from its menu, but one of its long-standing favorites is its halo-halo. You get the usual suspects like macapuno, nata de coco, fruit jellies, etc., but the goblet itself is also smeared with ube jam on its sides (our favorite!) which makes everything all the more better. And dig, you will, thanks to the restaurant’s stellar ingredients. If there is one thing we love about Manam’s Namnam halo-halo (other than its taste, of course) it is the large, goblet-like glass it is served on which allows for easy scooping. Though a lot different from the usual medley of ingredients found in similar cups, Kabigting’s trifecta works so well with all its creamy, thick flavor and consistency.Īddress: Ground Floor, Net Park, 4th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City (and other branches) Facebook: Manam It only has three ingredients-mashed sugared kidney beans, cream corn, and carabao’s milk pastillas. Similar to Razon’s, they keep their mix simple and few. There are no frills or whistles on a glass of this local favorite. Kabigting’s version of halo-halo encapsulates its business motto of being “The Pride of Arayat.” A success story in every sense, their shaved dessert is the kind that is so good, its publicity ballooned only thanks to word of mouth.
