Never underestimate the look of the restaurant from the outside, as this dessert shop in Lucban serves unforgettable halo-halo — just ask the Going Places team who has  been dreaming for a glass since they visited.

Salud’s menu mainly features 3 varieties of desserts: halo-halo, mais con hielo and halo-halo with mais. The best part of their desserts is they serve it with suman or barquillos, which surprisingly elevates the dessert to a whole new level.

Pepet offers Lucbanon dishes added with a twist. Pepet’s version of Lucban’s Adobo, Kinulob, which is turned into crispy beef ribs with fried veggies, is one of its best sellers. Also, they have Ubod sa Tahure, a fermented bean curd flavored with coconut cream and dusted with peanut powder; and suman at mangga with coconut milk drizzled with honey and a honeycomb, which is perfect for dessert.
