Talk:Halo-halo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] 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? -- unsigned comment by 210.213.175.139 07:01, February 27, 2006 (UTC)
- 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 (even if it is true) 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. -- unsigned comment by Pureofsoul 17:48 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- 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)
[edit] 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)}
