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...

Mom Violy Shopping for Lapu Lapu at Francis-Intsik inside Farmers Market

Mom Violy is craving for lapu lapu. She decided to purchase from Norma who works at Francis-Intsik inside Farmers Market. Carmina random took a video of Norma while she was cleaning two pieces lapu lapu by removing the scales on the otter part, trimming and cleaning. Norma had no clue who I was just smiled at me. Later Carmina had introduced herself who I was and both employees had explained what other type of fishes that they are selling. Some fishes I've never heard of it, yet it was cool and easy for them to let me know what they are giving you an idea for future purchases. Mom Violy had purchased two lapu lapu for 530.00 pesos ($9.47). There are two ways to cook your  Steam Lapu Lapu  and  Steamed Lapu Lapu with Mayonnaise . NOT SPONSORED.

Carmina Craving for Chicken Arroz Caldo with Tokwa't Baboy from Cafe Adriatico

Mom Violy wanted to eat Filet Mignon at  Cafe Adriatico located at Gateway Shopping Mall outside. The last time Mom Violy ate there was in  April 2022 . Carmina was able to try something new off their menu consider the Traditional Chicken  Arroz Caldo with Tokwa't Baboy. Gerald our host already knew who I was Carmina the blogger since he was the one who had served us in the past. There was a lot of customers eating at the restaurant. The service of the food is slow since they only have one chef. The food is always delicious.  Those who need to use the restroom will need to enter inside Gateway Mall on the lower level riding the escalator you may ask the security guide to ask where it is located.
