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...

Night Market starts at 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM. There is no charge upon your arrival although you may see a long line. Make sure you wear a face mask at all times. It is just based on your own if you want too or not. Just say you're going to line up for an opening of a concert this is how the world looks going to the Baguio Night Market off from Harrisson Road near Burham Park. If you don't mind shopping and wearing secondhand clothing night market is for you. They also provide brand new clothing from jacket, hoodies, shirts, pants and any type of clothes you can think of just make sure bring cash with you. It is easier if you bring eco bags with you since every stall will just place it inside a plastic bag without any handles.  It was Carmina's first time to go the Night Market in Baguio City. Lots of tourist trying to get a good deal without knowing people are looking at each other and following you. Make sure you hold on to your personal goods. We never know who these people ...
