Loading up the fixin's for halo-halo ($4.50), a dessert that you "mix-mix" with shaved ice and condensed milk. Ingredients, which vary widely, here include sweet potato paste; a paste of ube, or purple yam; white beans; and some sort of green gelatin. The fineness of the shaved ice is essential; in this instance, sadly, it was coarse enough to crunch at first, and then to stick together.
