Halo-Halo Heaven
Halo-halo Heaven is a good alternative food place, located across Xavierville Subdivision, Quezon City. At first I got confused with two names for one place. Check out the signs:
Chocolicious Alternative Café
Halo-halo Heaven
The very first time we tried eating at Halo-halo Heaven was on February of this year. We were really not expecting anything spectacular, for we only went to that place for one food stop – Ababu Persian Cuisine. Ababu is a store away from Halo-halo Heaven. After having indulged in our favorite Persian place, we saw this brand new Halo-halo joint for the first time and decided to try it out.
Our group of seven was craving for Razon’s Halo-halo, but we thought we could try this alternative, while we were there. The server who was waiting on us guaranteed that their Halo-halo is better than that of Razon’s. I actually had to raise a brow to that. But then again, I was open to welcome this prospective competition to my favorite Halo-halo.
You won’t miss the humor that they integrated with their menus. Like their selection of pasta dishes: eTUNApo ang spaghetti (tuna flakes, bell peppers, herbs in tomato sauce), Anak ng Tinapasta! (fried tinapa flakes in chunky tomato sauce) and Ang Gara Carbonara! (bacon bits in creamy white sauce) . All pasta dishes are priced below a hundred.
Going back to this Halo-halo wonder, we really have to give it to them that their halo-halo is superior to your regular fastfood place (yes, Chowking’s) or even the one that are easily available around the corner. And given that my benchmark for a good Halo-Halo is Razon’s, allow me to compare one from the other. Halo-Halo Heaven’s halo-halo is a couple of pesos cheaper than Razon’s. Shaved ice just like that of Razon’s. Aside from Razon’s regular, saba, macapuno and leche flan, Halo-halo Heaven threw in a couple more treats, a chunk of yummy Purple Yam on top by no less than The Good Shepherd’s. And this entertaining phrase from their tarpaulin should really say it all, “…at may surprise pa sa ilalim.” Really innovative and fun, if you ask me. Because you know what, the moment I got to that surprise, I did not regret trying out Halo-halo Heaven’s sweet treat.
