Ginataang Halo-Halo or Binignit is a traditional dish originally made by Visayan natives. It is a dessert soup made with sliced saba bananas, sweet potato, ripw jackfruit, taro, and coconut milk. It is best served as a merienda especially on a cold weather. We made Binignit yesterday because everyone wants to munch something sweet.
