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...

Tips in Food Allergy When On the Plane


I just remember something that had happened when we flew back to Manila from Australia apparently we had flew Philippine Airlines and our flight was fully booked when we came home. When they we’re at the process and announced they will be serving our meal and was handed the menu before our meal had arrived.

By, the time our food came to us and we are seated in number 45 and they ran out of food and we had to choose Chicken Adobo which my mom cannot eat chicken due to her allergies and my mom than complained not having enough food for those who we’re last to eat.

My mom had informed them what happens to someone like me who cannot eat certain food what food can you improvise for me to eat than the chicken adobo.

Mistake #1:

We’re informed by the head you need to inform your travel agent once you have booked your flight that you are allergic to certain food and should notify the airlines.

Mistake #2:

When they had announced they will be serving the meals my mom should have informed them ahead of time to give her meal ahead of other passengers.

At this point the flight attendant on duty gave her meal to my mom and they swap their meals.

Based on my mom’s experience it is best to inform your travel agent so they can put a note and there will be away to inform them ahead of time.

Even if my mom claimed she always ridden with the airlines and it just happened the first time it was still her fault but at this point when you’re old you will not accept your own mistake.

I just felt sorry for the flight attendant that was very nice enough to give her meal over someone who demands for her food or else she would have made a big scene inside the plane.
