I’ve been hearing and reading a lot about Kabigting’s Halo-Halo for quite sometime now and I know that their store is located somewhere in Banawe Avenue. But for some reason, I couldn’t seem to make myself go there. For me, going to an area I don’t frequent or regularly go is just not a thing, specially if I’m the only one who is into it — and of course, parking is an issue with me..LOL!
Banawe Ave. is well known for car parts and accessories. If it’s something you can find in a car or something you’d like to put in your car, whether brand new or not, you’re sure to find it somewhere along this avenue. Boys will be boys, I know sooner or later peanutbutter♥ will be taking ianne A. (yes, that’s the name of our car) there for something.
And I was right! The other day, peanutbutter♥ and I took ianne A. at Gold Cars for a back sensor. We He also bought a lock for our steering wheel. He was like a kid in a candy store and it was entertaining watching him window shop…LOL!
Anyway, we passed by Kabigting’s on the way. Since we just ate at that time, I told him we should stop by when we come back. I’m absolutely sure we’ll be coming back..heehee.
Last sunday, Sis treated us at Causeway for an early dinner because it was her birthday last friday. Dessert was also on her. Where else but Kabigting’s Halo-Halo, of course!
The usual Halo-Halo offers a variety of ingredients like Macapuno, sweetened banana, tapioca, sweetened camote, ube, pinipig, gelatin, nata de coco, and monggo. Kabigting’s version of Halo-Halo, only has three ingredients: Mashed beans, corn kernels, and Pastillas made from Carabao’s Milk topped by finely shredded ice. The pastillas alone had me intrigued — I love a good pastillas!
Kabigting’s Halo-Halo is proof that you don’t really need a lot of ingredients to make Halo-Halo delicious. Those three ingredients tasted really good combined together and it’s not overly sweet. The only problem is that the ice melted too quickly because it’s too fine.
I wish there’s more pastillas, though. I wonder if you can order extra?

gusto ko tuloy ng halo halo! i never really appreciated halo halo as a child, i would get one but just drink the purpled milk. I only ate the sago and hated everything else. But now, I even eat the beans!
