MANILA -- Purveyors of halo-halo, the iconic frosty dessert in the Philippines, are growing creative and designing their offerings with Instagram in mind.
Halo-halo, which means "mix-mix" in Tagalog, is a hodgepodge packed with various flavors and textures from shaved ice and tropical fruits to jellies and sweetened beans. The treat, whose origin is said to trace to Japanese shaved ice kakigori, is found all over Manila from fast-food chains and restaurants to dedicated shops.
