Baguio's cool mountain air always puts me in the mood for something sweet and refreshing. So, on our recent trip, we decided to hunt down the halo-halo everyone's been raving about - the giant serving at Kuya J at Azalea Baguio branch!
We opted for the Azalea Baguio branch of Kuya J because they're open until 10 pm. Plus their Azalea Baguio branch has a very convenient location, good reviews, and nice staff. Walking in, the restaurant had a welcoming vibe, perfect for a casual dinner.
Now, let's get to the star of the show: the Ube Halo-Halo. For only 149 pesos, we were presented with a behemoth of a cup! It was easily enough for two (or maybe even three) people. Packed with all the classic halo-halo favorites, it had leche flan, ube halaya, sweetened beans, jellies, and of course, a mountain of shaved ice. Everything was drenched in a creamy leche flan sauce.
The first spoonful was a flavor explosion! The sweetness of the leche flan balanced perfectly with the creaminess of the ube halaya and the refreshing crunch of the shaved ice. The combination of textures was delightful, and each bite was a burst of pure halo-halo joy.
Honestly, for the price and the size, it was an absolute steal. We ended up sharing the halo-halo and still felt perfectly satisfied. It was the perfect way to cool down after exploring the city and a delicious introduction to Kuya J's offerings.
