I grew up loving Guinataan made by my paternal grandmother, who is en excellent cook. I only wished now that I have paid attention to her culinary skills whenever Iwent to their home so I at least have a little of her skills.

Anyway, this Crusted Guinataang Halo-Halo is a sosyal way of presenting guinataan 😀 Prepared by Chef Myra Segismundo of Restaurant 9501 at The Maya Kitchen Culinary Kitchen last April 2013, Crusted Guinataang Halo-Halo is definitely a comfort food that reminds me of home, family and love.
