Mixing It Up with This "Halo-Halo"

So we decided to deconstruct another classic filipino dish. This time, the dessert we chose was the oh so famous "HALO-HALO". When translated, "HALO-HALO" means "Mix It Up". So its kind of ironic to deconstruct a dish with such meaning. There was a lot of thinking and brainstorming to come up with this version, but we had done it! =)

The idea was to serve "HALO-HALO" on a plate, instead of a bowl which might surprise some people. And by using different cooking techniques and a creative imagination, deconstructing an almost impossible dish was doable. So this is what we came up with: Deep Fried Ice Cream, Caramel Powder, Evaporated Milk Air/Foam, Coconut Cream Sauce, Plantain Compote, Sweet White and Mung Beans, Nata de Coco, Coconut Strings, Sweet Sugar Plum Fruit, Ube (Purple Yam)

Hope you guys like or version! =)
Let us know what you think.
