2013 HALO-HALO CHALLENGE - Contender #6\n\nLet me start this review by stating that we came here one evening for one thing and one thing only...to try their Mixed Berry Shave Ice.  5 Stars for excellent service and cool ambiance.  We didn't have any drinks or food at Andrea's so keep in mind that this review is only for their dessert and service.  Amanda M. recommended Andrea's for one of our challenges because their Mixed Berry Shave Ice had similar ingredients to Halo-Halo. That being said, we were also open to putting a little twist to our Halo-Halo madness.  \n\nThere's two sides of this review. You got my thoughts on the Mixed Berry Shave Ice and you got Terri's.  For me, this dessert gets 5 stars for presentation alone.  What you have is a concoction of raspberries, strawberries, nata de coco, lychee's, white beans, condensed milk, lemon sorbet, and shave ice.  The only ingredients similar to Halo-Halo was the condensed milk, white beans, nata de coco, and lychee's.  Because I'm allergic to fruits, I had to dodge all the good stuff in order to taste this.  I thought it was pretty good. You initially taste the sweetness, followed by the texture, and lastly hit with the tang of the sorbet in it.  We were also treated with 3 cones of sorbet (Blood Orange Ginger, Sake Cherry, and Chocolate Chili), which was thoughtful and appreciative. Terri is one of the lucky souls out there that isn't allergic to fruits. She thought that the ambiance of this place, the presentation of the dessert, the amount of the servings, and the overall taste was pretty good as well. She also points out that compared to Halo-Halo, missing was the ube and flan.  I concur.  This dessert cost $21, which is about 4 times what Halo-Halo cost at most of the Flip joint out there.  But it's also big enough to serve two. Terri's thoughts...\"definitely an exorbitant indulgence that goes along with the price point for a place like Andrea's, but expensive for most\". Overall, this Halo-Halo hybrid was worth the try because we only live once. Halo-Halo Challenge #6 done!!!\n\nPS:  I couldn't give this place any less than 4 stars because I didn't try their food.  The menu looked appealing and not everything on the menu was over the top.  I may come back just to try their sushi.  \n\n\n2013 HALO-HALO CHALLENGE:\nContender #1 (Elena's):  http://www.yelp.com/biz/elenas-restaurant-las-vegas-2#hrid:66pT_yQvZudRThxlGl74Qw\nContender #2 (Jollibee):  http://www.yelp.com/biz/jollibee-las-vegas-2#hrid:ZSJzziWEVLyOF3DHfn1MaA/src:self\nContender #3 (Cafe Cebu):  http://www.yelp.com/biz/caf%C3%A9-de-cebu-las-vegas#hrid:5iu3U4zoZWQISOSO7BMsGQ\nContender #4 (Salo-Salo):  http://www.yelp.com/biz/salo-salo-grill-las-vegas#hrid:Wgtkj97v8-l9MnNuyj-QxQ/src:self\nContender #5 (Thelma's):  http://www.yelp.com/biz/thelmas-filipino-restaurant-henderson#hrid:wzGAlZyBNi1UtDRM0t0oXw\nContender #6 (Andrea's):  http://www.yelp.com/biz/andreas-las-vegas#hrid:idKe5bOeuIwnyzcamgeUDg\nContender #7 (Chow King):  http://www.yelp.com/biz/chow-king-las-vegas-2#hrid:3FzhPzAaF7_OE6i0Nau5WA\nContender #8 (Fiesta Filipina):  http://www.yelp.com/biz/fiesta-filipina-cuisine-henderson#hrid:VLvYgY6ROsMh9q70tmkoHw
