We're only in the third week of March but summer feels like it's been here forever. The scorching heat from the summer sun is becoming more unbearable day by day. And it's already taking a toll on our productivity.

Fortunately, living in a tropical country has trained us to create countless ways to stay cool and fresh. And one that's been a recurring staple during summertime is digging in on every Filipino's favorite cold dessert, the halo-halo.

From the name itself, halo-halo is a blend of sweet Filipino delicacies meant to be mixed altogether before taking that first bite. It includes ingredients such as leche flan, ube, ice cream, and more along with the most important element which is the shaved ice.

What a bowl or a glass of halo-halo contains actually varies depending on the restaurant or on the culture of the place you're getting it from. Different fusions of this summertime favorite Filipino dessert have since then existed. That's why there's debate on which halo-halo is the best of them all.

But every halo-halo is unique in its very own way. What matters the most is the ingredients should blend well and taste great all together, right?

Now where to get that halo-halo? Scouring for this famous Filipino dessert isn't much of a struggle since it's available anywhere in the country. Wherever you might be residing, there is halo-halo in that place.

But if you really want the best to help you stay cool during this hot summer season, here are some of the best halo-halo places you can visit or order from wherever you might be in the country:
