Carmina says Bebang’s halo-halo is summer in a spoon — but is it the real deal or just pretty colors in a cup?

Since last year, Mom Violy and Carmina had been wanting to try the much-talked-about  Bebang's Halo-Halo , but even when we passed by, the timing was never right. Mom Violy kept saying she’d wait until a branch opened closer to us. Then Becky told Carmina there was one along her commute route to work. The best part was that the Tomas Morato branch in Quezon City had just opened. When we arrived at CTTM Square , we found plenty of restaurants on the second floor. While checking the menu, we let the customers behind us order first. Mom Violy asked them for recommendations, and they suggested the Presidential for first timers.

Create Your Own Vietnamese Spring Roll


When you feel like eating something healthy and come in mind you feel like doing something more creative than eating an ordinary salad from a bowl or plate. I've got something to share with you. Just like how the Vietnamese has spring roll wrapped inside a rice paper. You can use the same option of making your salad also like that.
