Hello, Halo

Of course, a visit to Bicol isn't complete without DJC Halo-halo.

This is an icon in Tiwi and- when we were younger - we would just go to Tiwi for this halo-halo. 

They've tried expanding to different parts of Albay. Some succeeded, like this one in Tabaco. It's just walking distance from where we usually stay, so looking for and enjoying it is a lot easier.

Hello again, DJC!

In the mix!

DJC Halo-Halo is another Bicolano icon.

Originating from Tiwi, this halo-halo is a tradition for Bicolanos. Their first shop is near the church in Tiwi, and families would hire off to eat this after mass.

What made this novel was the generous amount of cheese in every glass. This adds a savory touch to the usually sweet concoction.

Amazing how something traditional can change by adding something new to the mix.
