IN the neglected ghostland between Kentish Town and Camden is a small, valiant Filipino enclave where they pioneer south sea flavours like purple yam, black coconut and malt milk…in a cone or a wafer sandwich. They call this dirty ice cream, a term from Manila. There may also be a traditional Halo Halo, known as a mix and mix, mash up, or the unofficial Philippines national desert, a variation may arrive as coconut strings, red bean, jellies, evaporated milk, shaved ice, leche flan, a wafer stick and topped with a scoop of ube ice cream along with some Oreo crumbs and cornflakes. Now with outlets also in Chinatown, along the bubble tea alley of Newport Court and Westfield…Also they are a bakery with sweet rolls and doughnuts next door.
