Thumbs Up: Razon's of Guagua's Famed Halo-Halo

An impromptu merienda date with my sisters at Razon's of Guagua in SM Bicutan became more memorable after the crew served us three glasses of plain-looking halo-halo with leche flan on top. At first glance, you may think that it is boring and bland because you can't see any color through the glass other than brown and white. But I was wrong. Thanks to our big sister, who just recovered from cough and colds, we were able to have our One Time, Big Time experience at Razon's.

What's Inside?

A typical halo-halo sold by our neighbor for 25 pesos has a lot of ingredients: pearls, gelatin, buko, sweet potato, bananas, rice crispies and ube. But it was not as remarkable as my first Razon's experience. A serving of Razon's halo-halo only has three ingredients: macapuno, bananas, and leche flan. But what made it yummier is the perfectly crushed ice and the creamy milk. Every spoonful is again, remarkable.

How much?

Would you spend 100 pesos to buy something that will make you feel cool and make you happy? Perhaps not everyone can, but given the scorching 35 degrees Celsius temperature here in Manila, everyone would love to. So yeah, a tall glass of yummy Razon's halo-halo costs around 90 to 100 pesos ($2 to $2.5).

Is it worth it?

Yes. Next question please.

Where's the nearest Razon's?

The verdict

 I enjoyed every spoonful of the famed halo-halo of Razon's, which I can still taste as I type this. I strongly recommend that you try Razon's of Guagua's halo-halo today! :)
