Fruits
Tropical fruits abound in the Philippines. Most of the countryside produce finds its way to the metro areas and can be easily bought in supermarkets, such as:
* Green, ripe, and dried mangoes - Philippine mangoes are among the best in the world.
* 'Durian' - smells like hell but supposedly tastes of heaven, most common in Davao but can usually also be bought in some supermarkets in Manila.
Desserts/ Sweets:
* 'Sampaloc candy'- salted and sweetened tamarind fruit
* 'Mais con Hielo'- a dessert of fresh sweet corn served in a glass mixed with crushed ice and milk.
* 'Halo-Halo' - another refreshing dessert which is a mix of sweetened beans and fruits, such as sweetened bananas, red and white beans, sago, crushed ice and milk and topped off with leche flan and ube jam and/or ice cream
* 'Leche Flan' - custard flan made from eggs, milk and sugar
