| - HALO-HALO CHALLENGE 2013- Contender #3
After a fabulous UYE at Novecento Pizza with some of the Yelp family, Mel and I headed over to the Goldilocks off of the 215 and Decatur for the next halo-halo in line for our challenge only to find that....Goldilocks there is closed. Ugh. Nothing like driving around in 103 degree heat in search of an icy dessert. So, upon Cathy C.'s prevous suggestion, we backtracked and ended up at Cafe de Cebu. Another Filipino restaurant that I've never been to, this is a small space which looks like it used to be a little pizza place. The server was very friendly and after we placed our order, she asked us both if we were Filipino. We both replied in the affirmative and then she asked me if I was full, as in, full Filipino? Uh, yes, I am--all the way full. This happens to me all the time from other Pinoys, but it's the first time one of the contenders has asked me. I'm going to keep track just for kicks.
On to the halo-halo: Cafe de Cebu's version has peaches, ube ice cream, corn, Frosted Flakes (the cereal), gelatin, langka, jam, coconut, and a couple of small pieces of leche flan. First contender to be served in a nice glass bowl. $4.99. Still no ube here. No red beans or white beans. First time to have halo-halo with corn and Frosted Flakes; different for sure. This is Cebuan halo-halo, eh? I liked it, Mel was not a fan of the corn, but I couldn't really taste it that much. I'd like to go back and try some of the food; they have something called Chicken Skin BBQ on the menu!
For the record, I'm doing the odd number reviews, and Mel's doing the evens--we're going to stop at ten so we don't develop Type 2 Diabetes:
