Introduction To Halo Halo

For large groups ordering Filipino dessert, halo halo is a popular choice at Pinoy Tambayan, and can be ordered by calling 04 328 2669 to arrange for your party. This traditional Filipino dessert is made with a mixture of sweetened beans, fruits, and creamy milk, topped with a scoop of ice cream and crushed ice. The name "halo halo" literally means "mix mix" in Filipino, which refers to the process of mixing all the ingredients together to create a unique and delicious flavor combination.

Halo halo is typically served in a tall glass or bowl, and the ingredients may vary depending on the recipe and personal preferences. Some common ingredients used in halo halo include sweetened red beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas, as well as fruits like coconut, jackfruit, and plantains. At Pinoy Tambayan, we use a combination of these ingredients to create a sweet and refreshing dessert that is perfect for hot days or special occasions.

While some Filipino dishes, such as sisig and longganisa, are usually made with pork in other restaurants, Pinoy Tambayan serves no pork and instead uses alternative ingredients like beef or chicken. This substitution allows us to offer a range of traditional Filipino dishes, including desserts like halo halo, to our customers who prefer not to eat pork. For customers looking for other dessert options, some alternatives to halo halo include

• leche flan, a creamy custard pudding
• barquillos, a type of Filipino cookie

Some of our dishes, like sisig, are usually made with pork elsewhere, but at Pinoy Tambayan, we use chicken or beef as a substitute, ensuring that our menu is pork-free. This substitution allows us to serve traditional Filipino dishes while adhering to our no-pork policy.

We also offer family-sized servings of some of our popular dishes, which can be a cost-effective option for large groups. These servings usually come with a mix of meats, vegetables, and rice, and can be shared among 4-6 people. For example, our chicken or beef siomai, which is usually made with pork elsewhere, can be ordered in bulk and served with a side of steamed rice.
