They also have them in Vietnamese restaurants but are slightly different, anyone know the name or what Vietnamese restaurants in SF have them? Tue Nov 03 22:52:04 -0800 2009 78307 mikeylikesit 1 5154234 Mitchell's Ice Cream will make it, though having never sampled it, I can't vouch for it either way. Other than that I might try one of the Asian dessert places on Irving or Taraval. There are very few Filipino restaurants in SF itself but if you are willing to trek to Daly City or South SF you might have a better chance of finding what you're looking for.

Although it is the least traditional, I like Patio's version best: they serve it in a buko (young coconut) with the filling mixed into a coconut water jelly. The lot is topped with crushed ice, leche flan, and ube ice cream. If you want a traditional version, try Tribu.

Wed Nov 04 12:43:18 -0800 2009 5154155 111417 westcoaststyle 1 5160755 I love the Halo Halo at Mitchell's, although I can't speak to its authenticity Fri Nov 06 08:07:41 -0800 2009 5154155 292347 vulber 1 5160776 Of all places, in Fisherman's Wharf there is a place called Norman's that has halo halo. They also sell Mitchell's Ice Cream,. I haven't had it yet, but I remember seeing it on some local tv show that was featuring the place. It looked good.

Fri Nov 06 09:01:09 -0800 2009 5160776 11816 Agent 510 3 5164323 Don't know whar cendol is Sat Nov 07 19:45:20 -0800 2009 5160939 10264 rworange 3 5164365 Cendol doesn't appear to be on the menu at Penang Garden or Singapore Malaysian, but I'm guessing that at least one of them will make it on request. Penang Garden makes Ais Batu Kacang and Singapore Malaysian makes a similar-sounding dessert with green beans, so maybe they have stock most of the cendol ingredients already? Sat Nov 07 20:11:02 -0800 2009 5160939 77441 bigwheel042 1 5170611 The best Halo-Halo in San Francisco is at Mitchell's. They hit it right on the head with a perfect mix of beans, fruits, evaporated milk, fresh toasty crispy pinipig (rice), and of course, their wondrous ice cream. My favorite is the halo halo with the ube ice cream. Tue Nov 10 12:04:08 -0800 2009 5154155 50341 sfkusinera
