That isn't halo halo. There is no avocado or canteloupe in halo halo... where's the ice, milk, and the leche flan?

I would like to comend you on a job well done. I was so hoping that you would have been one of the four in Puerto Rico. In fact I truly wanted to see you or Richard win. The two of you are a fabulous team I would definately dine in your Resturant. The two of you should join fources & open up a resturant together. You are an amazing Chef. Keep cooking.
Yours Truly,
Amy

T is partially correct. It does not have traditional Halo-Halo ingredients. But it does celebrate the spirit, spontaneity, refreshing and fun nature of Halo-Halo. This is a tantalizing reinvention/new version of Halo-Halo. I can't wait to make this for my friends at our next Wednesday Night Dinner.

How much cantalope? 1/2 a large one, 7/8 of a large one? Also, is there really coconut in it? It's in the list under the picture but is not in the ingredients or directions.
