Method:

Boil bananas about 10 minutes or until tender.  Peel and slice into 2 cm pieces.  Set aside to cool.  Divide the bananas, mongo beans, white beans, jackfruit, kaong and sago into 6 tall parfait glasses, the proportion of the ingredients depending on one's own preference.  Add sugar to taste.  Fill the glasses with crushed ice.  Pour about 125 ml (½ cup) milk into each glass.  Spoon ube, leche flan and pinipig on top of the crushed ice.  Top each glass with a scoop of ice cream.  Serve with long-handled spoons.

Note:  The bottled ingredients are widely available from Filipino grocers.
