Summer in the Philippines isn’t just hot, it’s unforgiving. From halo-halo to sago’t gulaman, Filipino palamig isn’t just about cooling down. It’s a reflection of history, climate, and the ingredients that grow naturally across the region.
In this episode, we explore the origins of shaved ice desserts and iced beverages across the Philippines and around the globe as we take a deep dive into the flavors, history, and creativity behind Filipino palamig.
