Behold Halo-Halo, the Filipino Dessert That's Taking Over New York City

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Filipino restaurants in New York City — namely, Maharlika, Pig and Khao, and Jeepney — have all found spots in The New York Times's Dining section and have been reviewed favorably by the Gray Lady's critics. The Spotted Pig, a darling in the food world, recently hosted a Filipino night. And for the past year, expertshave been saying Filipino food is the next big thing. So it comes as no surprise that there seems to be an interest in the distinctly Filipino dessert known as halo-halo (pronounced like hah-low rather than hay-low; it means "mix" in Tagalog).

I like halo halo. But I do not want pay 4 to 7 dollars to have it here. I miss paying about 2 dollars for halo halo at Chow King. Yeah we had Filipino food here for 100 years, so it is pretty normal here. I guess New York is 100 years behind.

I love Halo halo but like the person above says it is pretty expensive here. We usually go to chowking in Glendale at least once every 2 weeks because my wife wants some Chicken Mami. She usually gets the Naicha as well, so if you add up my meal and halo halo it's gets to be up there for one sitting.
