Colored Shaved Ice
The shaved ice of Kuya J’s Halo-Halo is not just plain crystal ice. It is a purple colored shaved ice. The purple color made the ingredients’ color pop out which makes it more appetizing to eat.
Innovative Approach
We all know that a regular Halo-halo has a topping of ube. Kuya J’s approach blended the ube and macapuno with the shaved ice, which makes it flavorful. Who does not like Ube anyway?
Different Texture
Kuya J’s Halo-Halo has a different texture of shaved ice. It is not like any other Halo-halo that you buy in the streets or famous fast food chain. The texture does not have a crystal-like texture, but a finely crushed ice. It is almost like a sherbet that is gooey and smooth consistency.
Not Watery
The good thing with the sherbet-like texture of ice and the innovative approach of Kuya J’s restaurant, the shaved ice does not melt easily unlike the ordinary Halo-halo. It does not get watery when melted, instead, it is more like creamy.
The More, The Merrier
What is great about Kuya J’s Halo-halo is that, not only they serve a big serving of Halo-halo but they are also generous with the ingredients. Generous meaning not only the amount per ingredients but also the number of different types of ingredients added.
The Katsu Curry sauce was very aromatic, even from afar you can smell the curry. The curry sauce has a strong flavor. The spiciness of the sauce was mixed with enough spice to give that extra kick to the sauce. The pork Tonkatsu was very tender and well seasoned.
