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.

Upon entering Mom Violy had given her senior card and escorted us to our room giving us a room key. Someone had assisted us carrying our...

Carmina's Review on Jumbo Crab Bohol Seafood

  After we had just landed in Bohol it was already late in the evening Mom Violy was very hungry. The driver Arnel had informed us the only food available near the hotel was seafood. Mom Violy decided to try  Jumbo Crab Bohol Seafood . Upon entering inside the restaurant, they will ask how many you are looking for a seat most tables are already reserved. First the server told us to go to the second floor having seniors along with me they said prefer to dine on the first floor. The server had handed us a menu. Mom Violy had decided to order crab cooked Butter Garlic. The server had informed us to follow him to the tank pick which crab Mom Violy wanted to be cooked. Prices of the crab depending on the weight. Tita Edna said she wanted to eat the Cheesy Shrimp. Mom Violy added some Kangkong in our meal. Carmina was too tired from our flight ate what Mom Violy and Tita Edna had ordered. We found out Jumbo Crab Bohol Seafood was recently open one month ago. The food is delicious th...
