Japanese (or Japanese-Filipino) origins

It is said that halo-halo was invented by Japanese immigrants/soldiers/whatever who found the Philippine climate too warm and humid. How true is this, as perhaps we could include this in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.213.175.139 (talk) 14:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've only seen that fact tossed out as a throwaway sentence without any actual proof. If we can get a concrete reference before putting that in, that'd be ideal. I'm certain a goodly portion of readers might look at that and cry foul largely because of the way history's turned out.

my filipino friend wants to know where you get that idea? he said it's created by filipinos who had a sweet tooth for anything and mixed all the fruits that were sweet and mixed it around the rest of the other sweet stuff and called it halo-halo. he wants to know where you get this idea because it's like a fake story to him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pureofsoul (talk • contribs) 00:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's something perpetrated on various and sundry websites without an iota of corroborative evidence, which is why it shouldn't be included in this article without proper citation. By the way, please note my above note about signing comments, as it's good form to do so. Thanks! -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 06:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

if it's made by japanese wouldn't they have already added it in their list of food or wouldn't they be making similar stuff like these? also, if it were from them it would mean that those japanese soldiers must have been spending too much time eating sweet stuff in the philippines to even invent a dessert. i doubt it's from them. - ayNAKU — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.102.86 (talk) 19:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you may want to consider getting an account as a Wikipedia editor. Also refer to Wikipedia:Signatures for proper Wiki-etiquette. As for the whole Japanese-origin thing ... honestly, the image of Imperial Japanese military with ice cream spoons just cracks me up inside. So it's definitely NOT from wartime, the most likely source would be from civilians, and that's still not even worth speculating without any concrete evidence or reliable documentation. -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 10:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

actually as i see it, "Halo-halo" is actually a south east asian dessert. if you go to thailand, malaysia, singapore, etc, you can see similar dessserts that has the same "mixed ingredients" concept. Magasin 07:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Halo halo → Halo-halo – {This would keep it consistent with the usage in Wiktionary, and in the original language (Tagalog), repeated words (inuulit) should properly be hyphenated. I had originally merged content from the latter to the former because the former had more complete information. Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 20:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)}[reply]

Moved. —Nightst a llion (?) 08:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

it's filipino

halo halo is influenced heavily by spanish also some chinese cooking but it is not japanese since it's pre war — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoga68 (talk • contribs) 06:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)‎[reply]

Vietnamese

There's a similar Vietnamese dessert (can't recall the name) which should be added to See Also. It involves some kind of white bean, evaporated milk, jelly, and crushed ice. Ben Finn (talk) 20:51, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
