Another taste of Zamboanga's knickerbocker

One of the things one must try when in Zamboanga is their version of what we commonly refer to as halu-halo - the Knickerbocker. The name is derived from the American knickerbocker glory sundae. We had ours at Palmeras, which is widely credited for popularizing the dessert.

The knickerbocker is basically layers of fruits and jelly topped by a scoop (or more) of strawberry ice cream.

Each one of us had one as dessert during lunch

Is it the best halu-halo? Probably not considering the so many versions of the popular summer treat or dessert. The knickerbocker though deserves praise for being somewhat unique in its formula. It is a must-eat when in Zamboanga!
