The Halo-halo, which Chef Anthony Bourdain described as "oddly beautiful," and the Philippine durian make it to CNN's list of top 25 summer delicious foods (news from The Philippine Star, June 27, 2013).

The report enumerated various shows and magazines where halo-halo has been cited. Halo-halo has been featured in the American reality TV series "Top Chef" and Gourmet Magazine. It was named one of the top three Quickfire Challenge dishes when a Filipino-American contestant prepared it in "Top Chef." Halo-halo was also mentioned in a television show, "Degrassi: The Next Generation," the report said.

Durian, on the other hand, was described in CNN's report as "the alleged king of all fruits in Asia. It ranked after American's peach cobbler and before the Middle East's meze.
