A favorite treat: Nelia's Halo-Halo

A delicious glassful of NELIA'S HALO-HALO -- now here's another treat I love!

We started enjoying NELIA'S special halo-halo nearly three decades ago.  We loved that they cooked the native sweets themselves so these were always just right.  Coming from my Dad's house in Concepcion, we sometimes make a side trip to Tinajeros before going home to Potrero, just to have a glass.  Other times, my husband drops by NELIA'S for take-out, so we can enjoy their halo-halo at home.  I've spent many contented moments relaxing on the sofa while enjoying this treat - that it is easily high on my list of comfort food.

A refreshing treat composed of home-cooked garbanzos, beans, mongo, macapuno, langka, leche flan, milk and shaved ice topped by ice cream. 

NELIA'S Halo-Halo was established in 1960 and it was named after the late Nelia Ramos.  Her husband Virgilio still runs the original NELIA'S in Malabon, along with a branch they've put up in Boracay.  NELIA'S also serves pancit and lugaw.
