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...

Kalabasa Okoy

 


Carmina was craving for ukoy to eat for her lunch since Manang V wasn't in the mood to cook she decided to order in a new place.

Auntie's Bakery Restaurant in Markina not only has Filipino dishes as well a variety of food listed in their menu.

I was only eyeing for some Filipino ukoy is what was only in my mind when I had place my order through Grab application sold for PHP 275.00 ($5.50) in their menu it is called Kalabasa (squash) Okoy (5 pieces).

I was surprise how it look when it had arrived at my home in a box with vinegar in a plastic bag.




After I had remove it from the box I have never seen anything this big before in my life and it tasted really delicious. I couldn't even finish everything eating it with anything else just the vinegar provided to dip with it.

To me I got full eating two pieces of Kalabasa Okoy and the rest will be safe up for my next meal for the day.

It is crispy when you receive it and very appetizing something to look forward too when I crave it all over again.

You may refer to their menu known for https://www.facebook.com/Aunties1984 to see what you may want to order.

Note:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for Kalabasa Okoy from Auntie's Bakery Restaurant and More located in Marikina, Philippines just a place I had ordered for my kalabasa okoy for my cravings for the day.

There is two ways to spell word ukoy or okoy either way it is the food.
