More recently, we both went to Mission Chinese Food, and we really weren’t planning on getting dessert, we were just curious about what deserts they had. But when we asked our waiter if we could see the dessert menu, he said, “no.” There was no dessert menu, because they only had one dessert, and when he told us what it was, our answer was "yes”: How could we say no to halo-halo with strawberries and pop rocks!? This version was pared down, just shaved ice (they really nail the texture of snow here) and sweetened condensed milk topped with strawberries, but the entire thing was encrusted with pop rocks. Every bite literally explodes in your mouth, and anyone eating this becomes incapable of talking; you're basically forced to keep your mouth slightly ajar the whole time, emitting a low-grade popping growl. While maybe not the most authentic or decadent, this was definitely the most creative version we tried, and we highly recommend it.
