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. Unlike other places, Bebang’s Halo-Halo doesn’t have size options—everything comes in a standard size, making ordering easier. Seniors and PWDs get a discount per order, and you’re given something that lights up when your halo-halo is ready for pickup. Service was quick, so the wait wasn’t long at all. Each order comes in its own green plastic bag with a table...

Day 2: Singapore to Batam, Indonesia Ferry Ride


The next morning we have a tour from Singapore ferry going to Batam, Indonesia which is a 45 minute ride. 

You can purchase your ferry ticket either through your travel agent, online or buy through walk in. For example we had purchase through Sindo Ferry. 


There are a lot of ferry agents in the building to choose from. The price for the ferry ride is $50.00 Singapore money for round trip fare.

When riding a ferry, you will need to bring along your passport since you will be entering another country. It is best to arrive on time due to the process of entering Immigration. At the ferry when they say go to Immigration, they really mean Departure. It can get confusing to find it since there are no sign that says Immigration.

It is best to book a tour ahead of time with your travel agent. There are different types of tour available. 

During our ferry ride my mom and I met some new friends, and they have informed us to try the River Safari is a good experience.



There are some people who have booked a hotel from Batam. They say, it is best to stay there for 2 nights to be able to complete the whole area of Batam. If, you are into nature and animals this place is for you.

If, you are just here for shopping not much to see. It is better to stay in the area of Singapore there are more places to visit.










You will be meeting your tour guide after the Immigration from your arrival in Batam, Indonesia.

Make sure you wear your sticker so that your travel agent can identify you right away once you enter. They will be holding a sign board with your names to find each other.
