We have had several trips to Zamboanga the past years and in 2019 landed a couple of projects that would make sure we would be traveling to the city more frequently that year and in 2020. One of our close friends joined us in one of our trips late last year and was looking for a particular dessert. The knickerbocker is a variant of the very popular halu-halo (directly translated as 'mixed' to describe the mixture of various ingredients for this cold dessert). It has no ice unlike most halu-halo. Instead, it relies on ice cream (strawberry in this case) to make it a cold treat. It had lots of fruits instead of the beans and nuts in the typical halu-halo.

Unfortunately, our friend forgot where he was treated to this dessert after they had eaten there so weren't able to enjoy this last year. This lunchtime though, our search for a new restaurant to eat at proved serendipitous as we spotted Palmeras along the way to another restaurant and decided to eat there instead. I got curious about each table ordering the same dessert and checked the menu to find the knickerbocker there. We ordered one each and was treated to one of the better variants of halu-halo.
