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...

Fresh Peaches and White Nectarine

Carmina miss eating her fruits from California usually this is the time of the month of April she would be able to travel with her mom to visit her family back home. Carmina's family would always have Peaches and White Nectarine filled up baskets of fruits to eat at their home.

Dawg's Gourmet Sausages

Carmina felt like eating some hotdog sandwiches for her Saturday merienda which we call it a snack. So often we try to look for food that you are accustomed to eating back home in California where you find places to purchase your meals. The best part living in the Philippines you have the opportunity to try new food and explore within you're reaching while the food expenses are in pesos not in dollars the currency in the States. Anyone who is earning any type of currency can purchase food easily and find it inexpensive when you buy food in the Philippines. The value of your money can bring you a long way to feed a whole family. I came across from Grab Food is Dawg's Gourmet Sausages that is located in Marikina, Philippines.

Today in the evening a family member was requesting to eat Oyakodon in restaurant that we normally order from the problem it was already late in the evening. It is difficult to find the right place when the time is not appropriate while most Japanese restaurants we're closed or soon to close not giving enough to chose. I didn't want to rush myself. I found Osaka Cafe that had the Oyakodon Rice Bowl PHP 139.00 ($2.78). The remaining family member decided to eat their favorite that is common to serve in a Japanese restaurant chicken teriyaki. In Osaka Cafe their menu is Boneless Chicken Teriyaki, but it is not what you call Chicken Teriyaki that you normally eat in Japanese Restaurant. The reason why I say this because it is not grilled chicken teriyaki it is breaded just like your eating chicken katsu that just has ...
