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...

Why is bagoong shrimp color pink? When the bagoong fish and shrimp and mixed into with the salt the color changes into pink.
Bagoong shrimp my mom buys in Cabanatuan City located in the Public Market in front of the
entrance across the street from the bakery.
Each sold individual for PHP 50.00 ($1.00)

vary)
It is best to cook the bagoong shrimp when it is newly purchased before it gets spoiled once it is fully cooked place in a Tupperware or jar to be place in the refrigerator.
People often eat bagoong shrimp with kare kare, rice, pinakbet, green mango and binagoongan.
