The Sweetest Treat of Tiwi Albay

Have you ever thought of one sweet reason why you wanna go back to Albay?

Aside from the majestic and perfect coned Mayon Volcano, Misibis Bay, Lignon Hill, Cagsawa Ruins, Mayon Resthouse, the black beaches in Bacacay, and now the latest attractions Kawa kawa Hill,and  Embarcadero de Legazpi, whats  that sweet reason that keeps me wanting to go back home?

I have long answered this question when I first had the chance to taste the cool and sweet pride of Tiwi Albay, who would ever think that aside from Amater  Hot Spring and its Geothermal Plant, Tiwi has something sweet to offer?

I am referring to the famous and the most enticing Halo Halo I've ever tasted. DJC's halo halo in Tiwi Albay.Indeed this place spiced up my hot summer vacay and served me he coolness of summer Bicol Style.  Its whereabouts is easy to find since it is located adjacent to the Municipal Hall.  If you are from Tabaco City Turn right on the  first block beside the municipal hall, the place is on the right side of the road roughly around 100 meters from the main road.

When I was a kid my recollections of Tiwi, aside from the Gethermal plant is  Amater Hot spring and the Pilgrimage to Joroan. DJC halo halo gave me another reason to put Tiwi  on my map as I trot my home province.

The serving consist of the pretty normal stuff Chowking Halo Halo has to offer, cheese, finely shaven ice, milk, ube, leche flan,sago,and sweetened banana, pretty looks like the mainstream halo halo, but be warned, once you tasted it,you get addicted by it.The price is ranging from Php 50 (ordinary)  to Php75 (special)
ordinary doesn't have a scoop of ice cream unlike the special order.

How did we get there?
From Nasisi, Ligao ,  we reached Tiwi Albay Via Motorbike using Sabloyon Road, passed through the town of Tabaco and Malilipot  and turned right along the street beside Tiwi Municipal Hall.
