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...

Shrimp Popcorn from Blake's Wings & Steak Philippines

Carmina was craving food backed home in California having some shrimp popcorn that is served to you before you actually have your main course meal. Carmina found out you don't need to have it for an appetizer you can go straight to your main course meal. Carmina was able to find shrimp popcorn served with wedge fries at  Blake's Wings & Steak  in the Philippines. Carmina was surprise to see a lot on her plate while taking a picture. It comes with garlic mayo dipping sauce and a slice of lemon. The great part you can share it with another person to eat your shrimp popcorn and potato wedges for PHP 315.00 ($6.30) not including delivery fee using Grab Food. Shrimp popcorn remind me the texture when you eat mozzarella cheese only difference the shrimp is inside. The shrimp is easy to chew and it is not over cooked which is an A+ for me.
