the best halo-halo in bicol?

In my  list of things to eat in Bicol, the halo-halo from Tiwi, Albay was ranked high, heavily recommended by friends. 

The original and famous  DJC ( it says so on their sign) is different from other halo-halos because of the grated cheese on top.  Based on the non-stop filing in and out of people to partake of the cooler, you know it is indeed a winner. 

My verdict? While I was a bit skeptical of the cheese, I was convinced. :)

 It gave it an extra creaminess and the right tinge of saltiness to counter the sweetness

--  para di madaling maumay.  

Wouldn't mind going back to Bicol just to have another taste. 

Tara na?

classic halo-halo

Today was the hottest day of the year, my dad announced as I entered the door from an exhausting day outside.

 I believed him and it made me hungry for the cool, refreshing taste of halo-halo. 

And where else to get it but from a restaurant that specializes in the tasty treat?

 Little Quiapo, the most famous halo-halo restaurant during my dad's time, hehehe, has a branch in our side of the world.

 A place where I feel really at home during the hot summer days...
