Lonely Planet review for Farmacia Fatima

Amid a row of open-air pharmacies, this classic soda fountain is ready to serve everything from a whole fried fish to a tasty halu-halò (flamboyant fruit dessert).

    seriously? i live in manila, and i don't even recommend this

    nix1212 does not recommend this,

    (Halo-halo (from Tagalog word halò, "mix") is a popular Filipino dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice and evaporated milk to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits, and served in a tall glass or bowl.

    Ingredients include boiled kidney beans, garbanzos, sugar palm fruit (kaong), coconut sport (macapuno), and plantains caramelized in sugar, jackfruit (langkâ), gulaman, tapioca or sago, nata de coco, sweet potato (kamote), pounded crushed young rice (pinipig). In terms of arrangement, most of the ingredients (fruits, beans, and other sweets) are first placed inside the tall glass, followed by the shaved ice. This is then sprinkled with sugar, and topped with either (or a combination of) leche flan, ube halaya, or ice cream. Evaporated milk is poured into the mixture upon serving. --from wikipeadia)

    if u want halo-halo, try RAZONS, MILKYWAY and MANILA PENINSULA. Farmacia Fatima is just a pharmacy (and a dirty carinderia). PERIOD. and is located in front of the Philippine General Hospital.
