Who needs dessert... just pass the lumpia!Hmmmm, While I was partially teasing I was basing that assumption on my wife who is Filipino. Filipino deserts are not very sweet compared to American deserts. Half of what they call deserts to me arent very sweet at all. Honestly the world is developing a serious problem with sugar. We should all be more like Filipinos in terms of deserts at least
Me too!!Lumpia is bad news for me, I can eat it til I pop!
Thats cuz theyre not sweet enough to be considered deserts. You probably ate some cake that you thought was a sweet-ish dinner roll lolIts funny you mentioned this. I'd dated a Filipina, and ate a lot of their food, but I have no recollection of any desserts.
Sounds like you have too much blood in your sugar system!You just stop right there mister! My blood is 45% sugar, I need to maintain that balance!
Preach!Who needs dessert... just pass the lumpia!
I lied! I forgot about halo halo. I've only had these in Hawaii, so it could made differently there. But, these things are made very, very sweet! I love 'em though, and didn't mind the sweetness.Thats cuz theyre not sweet enough to be considered deserts. You probably ate some cake that you thought was a sweet-ish dinner roll lol
Looks about right and you're correct that is one of the sweeter deserts they have cuz its made with sweetened condensed milk. I just can't reconcile putting milk, ube, fruit, and jello with stuff like beans and rice lolI lied! I forgot about halo halo. I've only had these in Hawaii, so it could made differently there.

The halo halo I've had they not use sweetened condensed milk. Just sugar syrup and a cream of some sort. The syrup was sugar melted in boiling water. Never had rice in it. Most of the components: jelly cubes; coconut meat; beans....are typically canned stuff and are soaked in a sugar syrup as well.Looks about right and you're correct that is one of the sweeter deserts they have cuz its made with sweetened condensed milk.

They are. Put them in a dish, pour a little milk in the dish and let it soak in.... it's mesmerizing. Reminds me a little of Mexican b-day cake.Those Boston creme honey buns look incredible!
