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...
Charina and the family requested Mom Violy to have a video version with recipe of how she cooks her beef kalderata.
Giving us this opportunity to use Charina's kitchen while we're visiting them in California.
Mom Violy's Tip:
Mom Violy said you really need to use the Chaona brand of Coconut milk because if you try a different brand her recipe won't taste the same.
You can find Chaona in the Asian Grocery Store in the United States.
Mom Violy says depending on the meat will need to check after one hour while being cooked in low heat.
If you don't have any whole black pepper, you can use regular black pepper by sprinkle it during our cooking.
