Refreshing, exotic, and fun! Great for a party. Don't let the eclectic mixture of ingredients scare you away. This is my husband's Filipino grandmother's recipe--she was of Ilocan descent and migrated to Hawaii, so her version reflects her cultural diversity.

First of all this is not halo halo. its a fruit cup dessert. You should change it. Halo halo has shaved ice with carnation milk with different fruit toppings does not have cantaloupe, papaya and melons.
