Pagsanjan Cheap Thrill: Aling Taleng’s Halo-Halo
Naturellement, I research about a place before going there and one of the fruits of my snooping about Pagsanjan was Aling Taleng’s Halo-Halo. Pagsanjan is a small town anyway and Aling Taleng’s is a legend in the area, even if its address is quite inconspicuous. Summertime finds Aling Taleng’s enjoying long lines and they sell more than 100 glasses of their bestseller per day.
Aling Taleng’s sells other food items such as pancit canton or bihon (P50, serving good for three), spaghetti, cheeseburger, chicharon and sweetened sampalok. But the star of the show is endoubtedly the halo-halo whose secret ingredients are the ultra rich & temptingly sweet macapuno, kundol and tubo ng niyog. A generous swirl of Marigold milk completes the treat. All that for forty pesosesoses (P40)

Ajay, yours is the ultimate travelogue!!! Love these finds of yours!
very cold right now. summer is finnaly wrap
A big thanks for the article, Ajay.
lol!! may nakatalo pala sa halu halo sa ugbo tondo
aj, i’m sorry, currently down ang microsoft e-mail ko so i’m telling you here. remember when you called me to ask about something? well, it’s here na. just received it today.
haha, there’s nothing to decode here guys.
one of the things that im conceding of missing this summer is halo-halo. summer is soon to be over but not even a hint of that staple meryenda is i in the offing.\
oh yeah, pagsanjan will always be a good place for me.
Too bad I wasn’t able to try that one when I went there.
Sarap! Thanks for featuring this minimalist halo-halo, Ajay. I’ve been wondering if there were any Razon halo-halo alternatives. That one only has macapuno, minatamis na saba, leche flan, and a dash of dayap. Gotta go visit Pagsanjan soon…
Manuel, “tubo ng niyog” I think is the crown of a very young coconut. It is round-shaped. Together with the sweetened kundol, it’s what makes Aling Taleng’s halo-halo different from all the rest, or so they say. Enjoy your Pagsanjan trip:wink:
Hi! You just won one more regular reader
