At a time when “anytime” is the trend, why not halo-halo anytime?
This all-time and all-generation Filipino blockbuster dessert never fails to court the foodies, more so the sweet-toothed, as well as those who have a penchant for a grand mix of fruits, beans, milk and ice.
Today’s intense heat almost screams for halo-halo to be made available in all restaurants, carinderias (sidewalk eateries) and even at street corners.
Of course, the delicacy is not like the new types of beverages and coffees that have mushroomed in recent years. Halo-halo is more a traditional Filipino concoction, germaine mainly to Pinoys, who grew up enjoying its rich mixture of ingredients that includes nata-de coco, kaong and other fruits and beans.
GemFoods’ Creamy Halo-Halo not only packed a perfect mixture of this traditional favorite, but it went beyond the standard ingredients. It already has milk! Therefore, only crushed ice is needed to enjoy this delicious dessert, anytime and anywhere! That means, whether you’re in the Philippines or anywhere else in the world, this one-of-a-kind halo-halo can be your constant dessert!
“All you need is one bottle of this halo-halo mix and crushed ice and this can already be served to three or four people,” Nicole Young-Chu, GemFoods International Inc. Vice President for Business Development, told EmbassyTOPPs about this unique food product, which comes in two flavors, original and ube.
What’s more exciting about this sweet news, is that GemFoods has started shipping the products abroad.
“We already started to ship to our distributors and partners. It will be launched hopefully in summer, this June. It will be available soon in Canada, Europe, New Zealand, Middle East, Australia and other countries where there are a host of Filipino communities around,” Ms. Chu noted.
This creamy halo-halo is also being made available in local markets, as GemFoods has also started to pipeline the products.
