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...

Pizza Hut Philippines

Carmina's mom was craving pizza and asked her daughter to buy some from their favorite place before the pandemic—Pizza Hut in the Philippines. Carmina enjoys pizza but prefers it without cheese on the crust. Over the phone, Carmina's mom debated which flavor to choose. After going through the options, she decided on the Supreme pizza with beef, pepperoni, pork, mushrooms, and onions for PHP 365.00, adding a large size with a cheese-stuffed crust for an additional PHP 374.00. Carmina's mom requested less tomato sauce, as she struggles with acidity, and no onions. With added costs for the Grab driver and a tip, her mom almost backed out but finally decided to proceed with the order. Interestingly, Carmina doesn’t eat cheese-stuffed crust, and since the narrator is lactose intolerant, they also avoid it. When dining at Pizza Hut with her mom, Carmina gives her crust to her mom to enjoy. To find out where  https://www.pizzahut.com.ph/home  is located in your area is to click at...

Cheez-It Grooves Zesty Cheddar Ranch Crackers made in USA

Carmina was doing some grocery shopping for her mom at S&R Philippines having to order something wasn't enough to be delivered to my home. You will need to purchase one thousand pesos enough to have the groceries to be delivered to your home with additional fees by having someone else shop for you. Carmina decided to shop to add on to her cart and found her favorite Cheez-It crackers instead of the regular cheese flavor. I found something new that I haven't tried before and being cheddar ranch made me add to my cart. Ranch dressing has always been my favorite on my salad. I figure why not try it for myself for PHP 249.00 ($4.98) 255g. The content inside the bag may not be much although when you pour it out it can fit a medium plastic container. How does it taste? Actually it tastes a cracker with cheddar with ranch not too strong pretty mild for a cracker which is the best part from it. It can be addicting to eat need to stop yourself to let it last a bit longer for the wee...

Aloha Fruit Tea from Serenitea

Carmina's mom was craving for her brown sugar taho having food sent to her today through the driver. Carmina decided to place an order for herself but didn't feel like drinking the same drink as her mom. Today I wanted to try something tropical having not to travel might as well drink something that remind you of Hawaii the home of Aloha Fruit Tea with apple, orange slices, grapes on top with Jell-O on the bottom of your drink and flavored tea. Not bad for a cold drink of Aloha Fruit Tea for PHP 147.00 ($2.94) you can decided whether how much sugar level you want on your drink from 100%, 75% and 50%. To check out my mom's brown sugar taho you may read my article from other drinks I have tried from Serenita and snacks. https://www.carminalifestyle.com/2021/04/for-fan-of-barbie-brown-sugar-taho-and.html https://www.carminalifestyle.com/2021/01/snacks-from-serenitea.html https://www.carminalifestyle.com/2020/07/serenitea-in-philippines.html Giving you a variety to decided whic...

Double Chocolate Muffin made in US

Carmina's mom is asking to purchase her muffin that came from the United States. All her mom can remember is that Carmina gave her some muffin from a set of variety that she had ordered from S&R a month ago. Carmina gave the ones that she knew her mom would want to eat since she loves chocolate. She gave two pieces of chocolate muffin to her. One month later Carmina's mom said can you look for those muffins you gave me before. Carmina wasn't sure what the name of the chocolate muffin was called since she gave two different type of chocolate that came from variety set from S&R. Of course my mom couldn't remember how it looked only remember how it had taste. Just to gamble on what was available at S&R Philippines Carmina went ahead and order two sets of the Double Chocolate Muffin made in the US. You can say my mom is spoiled and when duty calls you're mom is requesting for food you go ahead to start looking for it. You wonder how can she finish everything...
