In addition to swapping the milk for evaporated milk, try the halo-halo with a scoop of ube ice cream as well. It's not as redundant as it sounds (because you already have the ube spread). Obviously different regions will/will not have the ice cream and other toppings, but with ube ice cream becoming such a novelty in the US right now, it's another way to enjoy it (other than itself).

[@eikreativ]

agree! more yumminest with ube ice cream

[@alistairt7544]

My favourite type of halo halo, with ube icecream! Also, I like the Razon style, very simple and creamy.

[@pauluy976]

You can also add raw sugar to the mix

[@kirbaytamoria]

Pinipig (rice flakes) is also a great addition! It's my favorite part of halo halo

[@pcsixty6]

no problem if the ice melts, we usually just drink it up.

Even before seeing this, I had all these vegetables (plus fennel) on my grocery list so I could roast them on the grill. I live with my 86-year-old aunt, who doesn't eat meat and who rarely has an appetite, so I was hoping grilled vegetables would tempt her. It definitely tempts me!

[@shepherdsgamingrun]

RE: Halo-halo melting quickly. Some places would put the toppings (except for the ube and the flan) on the bottom and keep the serving dish in the fridge until the ice is shaved and ready to assemble.

[@peko7446]

When I was young, I used to make peach ice cream sandwiches. Using a very ripe peach, cut in half to take out the seed, put a little scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle, wrap the whole thing in either Saran Wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for a bit.

[@nurulsyakirahyusof9132]

Awesome idea!

[@nochujeykeyy3793]

Cendol is also Indonesian. We do have other shaved ice dessert like es teler, es rumput laut, iced kolak etc.

[@rambutketiak]

Besides Es kacang and Es Cendol, in Indonesia you can get Es Campur, Es Teler, Es Tebak (kinda like white cendol with spiced syrup), Es Pisang Hijau, and Es Rumput Laut. My personal fav Es Kacang, Es Tebak, Es Pisang Hijau and Es Rumput Laut.

[@Eczohr]

Here in Indonesia we have several like es campur, es doger, es dawet, es cincau and also es cendol. The halo halo one is similar to es campur but the ingredient just a bit different

Summer to me is a fresh tomato sandwich. My grandparents lived in Mississippi and my grandfather had a very large garden. He grew everything you can imagine out there! My favorite memories include my grandmother sitting at the kitchen table, peeling giant tomatoes from my grandfather's garden for tomato sandwiches. It is the easiest thing to make. Two pieces of white bread (must be white bread, thing Wonderbread) mayo, salt, pepper, and a thick slice of tomato. The tomatoes from my grandfather's garden were so huge that a single slice far exceeded the dimensions of the bread.

[@aaronarchie7799]

I grew up on tomato sandwiches as well. My grandparents whom were originally from WV made these for me often while growing up. We always had Mayo on ours.

[@auro2992]

You painted a nice peaceful picture there. I’ll try your sandwich recipe.

[@garbanzo.s]

Escalivada reminds me of Philippines' Ensaladang Talong, which is basically an eggplant salad with similar ingredients from escalivada. The only thing different is that we (Filipinos) don't roast the vegetables. It would make sense since we were colonized by Spain for more than 300 years.

[@idolarth3681]

We do roast it as well but we usually use charcoal or burning it on stove like my parents do and yeah it’s just very similar and we eat it with rice

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

It does seem to be similar.

[@darinbomy8964]

[@debyanibhattacharjee5124]

Halo Halo reminds me so much of Falooda which is an Indian summer drink. It made with vermicelli, milk, ice-cream, fresh summer fruits and is topped off with dry fruits. It's a refreshing summer drink.

[@AngryKittens]

As a Filipino kid, I used to think jelly beans probably tasted like those sweet white beans/mung beans/azuki beans so common in Asian desserts and pastries. I was severely disappointed when I finally got to try jelly beans.

[@genesisdelacruz9187]

Halo-halo is so popular in the Philippines you can eat them all year round. During summer, they're sold in almost every corner of the street from northern to southern part of the country. And during wet season? Well, they're served in various restaurant around the country as well! They're in Filipino quick food service chains overseas, too!

The moment I saw cooking with grandma.. Just remind me of my grandfather who used to took me on trip to beautiful place in Poland that I didnt ever know name of! It was beautiful forest where we stayed for few days and cook every day together outside listening to birds and other wild noises. He was an weteran who was also an cook in military. He knew what is doing very well. The one dish that I just loved eating cold in those hot summer days was Barszcz with noodles. It may sound odd as barszcz is supouse to be eaten hot, but cold version is also super yum and refreshin. There's also that one polish dish that I never liked called Chłodnik? It's some kind of beatroot soup same as barszcz. Mmmm Barszcz with an egg! Yumm!

[@chandrakala978]

India has a popular summer drink, Masala Chaas (Spiced Buttermilk) and we find it everywhere. The yogurt in combination with mint cools your body, while the black salt and ginger helps keep things interesting! Buttermilk in India is not the same as in the US. Its essentially whisked and diluted full fat yogurt, that is then mixed with black salt, cilantro & mint, roasted cumin powder, grated ginger and if you are game, chopped chillies! Do give this a try! Other cooling yogurt drinks include Plain chaas (just buttermilk with salt) and Lassi (A super-thick sweet yogurt drink with lots of 'malai' - the fat film that forms on top of hot milk while cooling down).

My favorite summer dish is water melon ice, my mom used to make this for brother and I when I was little. She take summer rip water melon , ice and simple syrup. And blend it up in a blender and just serve it in a ice glass like a watermelon style smoothie. After his blend she would cut up smaller chunks of watermelon to add it within the smoothie and serving on a nice glass for us it was the best summer treat ever. It would quench your thirst in a super hot summer day. This is one of the best memories I have of her doing summer. Watermelon ice always brings me back to my childhood.

We don't have seasons in Colombia, but many cities have a summer like weather all year and here's where cholao in Cali steps in. It's crushed ice with diced fruits, mixed with a sweet juice and topped with honey, condensed milk and (sometimes) milo powder! It's my favorite for hot afternoons on dry season.

[@maryj4876]

For halo halo, we use a lot of shaved ice and evaporated milk and a little sugar. Its like a milk shake with lots of good stuff.

It's 85-90° in the philippines all the time so yes it melts even before you can eat it. Also halo-halo is really good with ice cream on top.

[@snakeinthegarden1146]

I second this recommendation, Slavic food is my favourite in summer. Could nearly do a whole episode on their summer foods/salads! Also recommending my favourite polish dish: when it's hot we make pork schnitzel and cucumber salad. Pork that's pounded thin, coated in egg yolks with salt and pepper then coated in dry breadcrumbs (ideally bułka from polish store) and fried in pan. Cucumbers peeled then grated thinly left with salt to drain out water for hour or 2 in fridge, then squeeze it to get excess water. Then add cream (but we use creme fresh ) and chopped fresh dill without the stalks. Stir it up and chill it again so nice cold salad to go with hot Schnitzel.

Once boiled, you make butter+breadcrumbs topping (melt the butter, add breadcrumbs and keep frying, untill golden brown) It’s also served cold most of the time (At least in my family :D )

My vote for summer dish is succotash, derived from the Narragansett Native Americans, it’s sweet fresh corn and Cooked Lima beans or similar , usually some fresh chopped summer tomatoes, fresh basil or other fresh herbs , usually pan fried / sautéed a bit in butter or bacon grease, sometimes w some crumbled bacon added , or omit the bacon and use a vegan option to fry with . Usually can be served room temp or even chilled so a good picnic dish as well or potluck dish . It lives or dies in the freshness and summeriness of the corn and tomatoes !

[@nathypolish]

I feel like “pastel” represents a good brazilian summer food. It’s kind of our dumpling, similar to empanadas. The fried dough is thin, airy and crispy, and the filling options are endless (the most traditional being ground beef and eggs). Pastel is enjoyed on the beach, in farmers markets (pastel de feira), in “botecos” (brazilian bars) and in birthday parties. It’s a very casual and delicious fried summer food ☀️💞

[@justshimatzu653]

Usually we do our halo halo by putting the ingredients in the bottom first then buried it with shaved ice so that it will not melt. It's okay coz there's a lot of ingredients that you can top it with. After putting the shaved ice, we drizzled a lot of evaporated milk and topped with mango or ube/ube ice cream!! There's a lot of things we love to put in our halo halo. We can add some tapioca, sweetened banana, rice crispies and more. Personally, my way of eating it is, I paired it with Sky flakes which is a plain biscuit crackers after I finished mixing everything up. I love it so much and it might be sound weird but it's delicious so you should try it some time. 😊

[@carlasfoodjourney9992]

Hi Beryl :) I´m Argentinian and in summer my family loves to eat a specific rice salad. You cook rice the day before in order for it to cool. Then you add oil canned tuna, tomatoes, olives, and lots of mayonnaise. Finally, you drizzle some lemon juice on top (I prefer to add a lot of lemon juice, it makes it even fresher). I hope you try it too, it is really good!

Halo-halo is my favorite thing to introduce to people, because it has all kinds of “unusual” ingredients for a dessert. Ranging from corn to beans. The looks on their faces are priceless with how shock they are to find themselves enjoying it. I won’t lie I’ve never really made it myself I always went to a restaurant to get it, but when I think of halo halo I kind of compare it to a slushy. I tend to enjoy mixing it a little and just drinking it and then eat all the stuff at the end.

[@regal_ego]

Hello miss Beryl, I'm also from the Philippines. 😉 If you're planning of having another bowl of Halo-halo, then i recommend that you put a scoop of ice cream on top. The ice cream could be a substitute for the sweet purple yam or just simply an add-on. The ice cream flavor should preferably be "ube" but vanilla, cheese, or mango could do too. ❤ chocolate should be a no-no. 😄 Speaking of mango, a fresh ripe mango can be an add-on too. 😅 Another add-on could be a fresh (or preserved) young coconut meat. 💯 Actually, you can add anything you like. 🤗 But i tell you, you better not forget the ice cream. 💙💙 Enjoy eating!!!

[@croppydoodle3730]

Halo-halo with evap is the best. I used to sell halo-halo when I was young every summer. My Lola (grandmother) is the one preparing the ingredients. Very tedious. All ingredients were cooked because bottled ones are so pricey at that time. (Yeah... I feel really old now.) Jackfruit, kamote, kidney, mung beans, saba banana, jelly, sago, garbanzos, nata, kaong, macapuno, ube, leche flan and pinipig were our ingredients with generous amount of evap.

Hi Beryl! You should definitely try out one of Hungary's well-known summer staples the 'meggyleves' (which basically means sour-cherry-soup). It is a 'sweet soup', served with whipped cream, it can be a light meal in self or a starter. We eat it cold or room temperature so it's perfect for those summer days when you only crave something light and refreshing! :)

it does melts really fast, Philippines is a temparate country and when summer comes it can go up to 45degrees celcius. you can also top it with fruit flavored ice creream of your choice though typically we use ube ice cream or mango ice cream.

[@larissapinto3791]

Here in India, we have Falooda, which I have fond memories of eating most summers, especially when I was a kid. It has rooh afza, a very popular rose flavored syrup, which is a popular summer drink in itself. A full jar of Falooda contains cooked cold Vermicelli, soaked basil seeds (sabja), 2-3 scoops of icecream (a nut flavored ice cream or something plain, like vanilla or pista), chilled and sweetened milk, a fruit jelly (this is optional), glazed cherries, tutti fruity, cashews and pistas and the rose syrup. If not for the video, I hope you try this atleast once. There are tons of variations regionally as well. I think the north east side they use custard instead of milk, which sounds equally delicious! Also, any local Falooda vendor has 2 options for the syrup, the most common one being the rose syrup, and the other is kesar.

Condense Milk is luxury compare to Evaporated Milk. 😆

Melted ice is actually what you drink after eating all the ingredients, just make sure to put enough condensed milk (or sugar) to make it sweet and not watery. Add a scoop of ube ice cream and sweet gelatines too, and my most favorite and a must-have ingredient, minatamis na saging (plantain banana in syrup) which is also the main ingredient on the halo-halo variation called saba con yielo (plantain banana with ice) 👌

When I think of summer I think of rhubarb. Much of my family would look forward to strawberries, but I’m allergic to them. But rhubarb? Rhubarb pie, my grandma’s rhubarb custard pie, rhubarb upside-down cake, etc. Rhubarb grows wild in many place in the Midwest, but not all of it is good (like the stuff by the side of the road). Harvesting it while the stalks are thin and have a lot of pink is crucial. It’s very tart without bitterness, and the flavor is like the sun shining on your face.

My Grandmother made Cheese and Peas. It is a cold summer pasta salad. You have to use Ditalini pasta the way they work with the peas is just perfect. My Grandma had a large garden and she made this when the shell peas were at their peak. You should have equal amounts of peas and pasta, the cheese is usually a mild cheadar. Cut the cheese into small dice about the size of the peas. You can choose how much, but there should be about one or two bits in a bite. Mayo to barely coat, dill and salt, and pepper. Chill and serve.

[@bamburn04]

I'm glad you tried Halo-Halo. Most people are turned off by the beans when, literally red bean paste types of deserts exist. A good tip to keep the shaved ice from just melting immediately is keeping all the ingredients in the fridge before hand even if they are room temperature safe items like the ube halaya, evaporated milk, halo-halo mix you used. Everything looked delicious so, I might try them before the summer ends. Especially the Spanish dish which reminds me a bit of bruschetta when on toast.

This episode features nothing but amazing food!! As someone who lives in Daly City, CA (little Manilla), I can attest to deliciousness of Halo Halo. If you have a Ranch 99 grocery store, you have purple yam ice cream. Americans don't associate beans with sweetness but there are many amazing ways to serve beans sweet.

[@aparna3855]

There is a very similar dish here in Kerala, especially it's a beach thing,crushed ice with nannari syrup dry nuts and dry fruits it's best feeling ever .

[@snapcracklepops]

Halo-halo, one of my favorite, if not favorite, dessert! But that peach dish looks good, I love peaches too! I am going to try that, but now need to find that cheese.

[@BerylShereshewsky]

Yogurt section!!

[@joyprudente6601]

In the Philippines, aside from Halo-halo we also have Avocado shake/smoothy. It's just simply shaved ice avocado, condensed milk as sweetener, and coconut cream. Then blend them all together. We also have Iced/Chilled Buko Pandan. It can be a summer dessert or a drink. The main ingredients are coconut shreds, pandan flavored jelly, coconut milk, and condensed milk. The buko pandan and halo-halo are the most popular during summer... 😅

In Viet Nam, we eat sweet soup (we call it "chè") at the summer. This dish is sooooo tasty, scented and it is about every people's favorite when it gives us the coolness, sweetness, relaxing at a hot summer day. Vietnamese people from North, Central, South have many different kinds of sweet soup. I think it is worth for u to try it.

[@MiceAl487]

Oh, don't worry about the halo-halo melting, Beryl! That's actually how it's supposed to be-a halo-halo "soup", so dw, you did it right! 😊 PS, a few others might have mentioned already, but evaporated milk is what's supposed to be used, since you do kind of want it to have that cereal milk consistency. I suggest you try it again by yourself with evaporated milk, or even whole milk (I do this sometimes). Hope you enjoy it and thank you as always for letting us share the wonderful things about our culture, Beryl 😊 Mabuhay ka! 🇵🇭

[@claudiaprt]

Beryl what a lovely episode!!! Btw if you have some leftover escalivada that you want to have on toast, laying some anchovies on top is THE thing to do 😚👌🏼

[@s_rofbear]

Oo! I bet sardines would work too! Or even tuna or salmon.

[@LilyBean82]

During the summer in Kentucky, when I was a kid we enjoyed Big Red floats. It's simply Big Red soda with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, and a cherry on top.

[@CielionGamer]

Beryll, try Mais con Yelo!!! Idk if it's originally from the Philippines but it is something a lot of Filipinos buy or make during summer seasons here!! Super nice video btw🌄

[@busilaknapuso9795]

Even banana con yelo.. both are yummy...

[@marcariesteomarcos3752]

Mais con yelo is from Philippines,it even has a reversed sibling its called Binatog

[@blakedao4777]

In Vietnam, during the hot summer time we have chè (sweet soup). Among them all, there's chè đỗ đen (Black bean sweet soup) you should really try, or if you fancy something more tasty and challenging to make, try chè sen nhãn lồng (longan with lotus seed sweet soup).

[@monicakruczaj2244]

I just bought Halo-Halo (I Absolutely love Halo-Halo) from my local asian food market day before last. My mom is originally from Kuala Lumpur. She moved here to be with my dad over 50 years ago. They met at a tourist location in Singapore. He was there on RnR from the U.S. Navy. 5 days later they got married. They will be celebrating there 53rd wedding anniversary on the 19th. Anyway... We have always loved to shop at the Asian markets and pick up things she remembered as a kid eating. So many delicious sweet fruits in a can and/or bottle and/or dried. I love preserved fruits like plums too. Thank you for another wonderful video. P.S. - Have you ever tried durian fruit? Said to be the stinkiest food in the world. It is actually banned from hotels and the metro. Lol. That's it you need to do a video on "Stinky" foods the smell bad but taste So Good. P.S- Jack fruit "meat" is used as a "meat" substitute. You can use Jackfruit meat to make BBQ pulled pork.

[@undang1158]

Yay! halo-halo. Yes it melts after a while and becomes a drink. :-)

[@icecrepegg1225]

Oooh I would've preferred an evaporated milk for the halo-halo. And ice cream!!! I was surprised that the recipe didn't include ice cream in it since halo-halo normally has ube ice cream as a topping but I'm sure it was still a delight.

[@annica2062]

I'm from the Philippines and I loved your video. And I really want to try the Escalivada.

[@kileyfitzgerald6792]

Pop your shaved ice back into the freezer before you use it and make sure the stuff you put on it is also super cold!

[@hwangyeji9050]

Thank u thank you !!! for featuring Halo-halo in your content ... sometimeas the things you put into that varies that are readily available in different parts of the country... you can have bananas, corn bits, taro and much more.. also add at least 1/4 cup of milk to it as well so that its not just ice and condensed milk you will taste 😇😇

[@XYZ-eq8uw]

We have ice gola in india made from shaved ice.. It's kinda similar to halo halo just with diff topping and flavoured syrups... But it's best thing in indian summer.. 😅

[@palakmaniar8771]

In India, we have a same dish as Halo Halo which is called 'Barf - Gola' ( meaning ice-balls) or simply 'Gola'. You get it in two types...one which can be served on plate or in a bowl and other one which is called stick gola. One which is served in bowl/plate has shaved/crushed ice topped with variety of flavourful syrups, jellies, cream and dry fruits or even chocolate shavings. While un stick gola, crushed ice is rolled around a stick(like a candy) and then flavoured syrup is poured over it. Adults as well as kids love it the same way. One of the nostalgic memories is running from home with a bowl to buy an ice gola when we hear the bell of selling cart in evenings. And going out with family and friends to enjoy this dish after dinner on a hot summer night.

[@nobody-yr8tl]

Try the next level for grilled peaches & honey mascarpone - sprinkle it with crispy crumble mix and roughly chopped pistachios. You won't regret it ;)

[@mmps18]

Oh Beryl, KZbin is such a minefield of stressful or upsetting comment but your channel is so special. It's so kind and relaxing and fascinating and DELICIOUS. Thank you for existing and continuing to make such wonderful content!

[@cherryxx6070]

i can't wait to fly back home so i can eat halo-halo. studying in malaysia means that halo-halo is not widely available but they have cendol here, although nothing beats halo-halo.

[@Loukie69]

Thank you for this Beryl. Not only for the interesting topics you cover, but particularly for giving people from all around the world a platform to to tell the rest 'of the world' what they like, love and do and eat. Regardless of whether the ingredients are available (in my case, South Africa) its great to see dishes outside of the stereotypical 'national recipes' that other folks enjoy.

[@tanvideshpande8389]

We need a part 2! I definitely think of raw mango dishes from Maharashtra, India. One is a chilled drink called "Panha" and the other is a spicy and sour dish made using raw mango and lentils called "Oli Daal"! WE LOVE IT

[@jhb61249]

I enjoyed the Korean version of Halo Halo on hot summer days. Delicious. The Koreans use sweetened red kidney beans in many dishes. Sweetened red kidney bean paste is used as filling for pastries and their famous rice wedding balls. The bean ice cream sicle is a favorite.

[@alenakochubei4549]

Thank you for the cool videos and your appreciation of Russian cuisine. I have couple of suggestions. First is Russian cold soup - Okroshka, and second is cold dumplings with cherries. Cherries in Russia are mostly sour, so we usually add a bit of sugar inside of each dumpling. They are eaten with hands and, please, be careful with that. They are very juicy and will definitely drip all over your hands.

[@rabeapakind3709]

Приготовьте окрошку без яиц и картофеля на основе сметаны. Сварите с ним пельмени и положите себе на тарелку несколько пельменей и добавьте немного окрошки. По вкусу напоминает теплый освежающий суп. Make okroshka without eggs and potatoes based on sour cream. Cook pelmeni with it and put some pelmeni on your plate and add a bit of okroshka. It tastes like a lukewarm refreshing soup.

[@calgeciras]

As a kid I used to go visit my grandmother in Switzerland in the summer and we used to have something called “chreisi schtorm” which translates to cherry storm. Fresh cherries, toasted flour, sugar, whipped cream, and milk. All layered in a big bowl and it was something we often had for dinner in the summer. 😁🇨🇭

[@Fliprrr]

I live in California and there’s many Filipino restaurants and dessert shops and halo halo is my favorite with ube ice cream 😋 the flan is the best part though hehe

[@MiriamDiaz91]

The best of escalivada is the smell of the house after! It smells like childhood, like home. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!

[@miriamnunez3055]

You should try Spanish omelette, a staple of Spanish cuisine and my personal favourite. I live abroad and, every time I cook it, it brings me back home.

[@juliaschiero659]

From Germany: Kartoffeln mit Quark - potatoes with Quark (a creamy dairy product a bit like yogurt) usually there's herbs in the quark, you can also add butter, margarine, flaxseed oil and / or liver sausage spread (leberwurst). I usually add everything except for butter. There might even be other variations. Everything except the potatoes is cold. And you just put everything on one plate next to each other and then eat it however you like. (except for the flaxseed oil which goes on the quark)

[@KnickKnackPatty]

Ooohhhhh. Nice. Seeing new(?) dishware makes me wonder: has Beryl ever done a kitchen or dishware tour before?

[@chimeracooks]

omg she shoulddddd, im always swooning over her plates and bowls!!

[@Ruchibiswas2]

The dish from phiillipeans looks so yumm! Halo halo!
