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...

Haw Flakes


Being a kid we use our imagination during kindergarten and grade school. We played outside with our neighbors who had kids the same age.

I remember we used card board to make a house in our drive way. We used our dolls and toys to decorate our home.

The food we use was whatever we had in our food pantry by asking permission from our own parents.

I remember we pretended we went to attend church someone had dress up being the priest and a nun. 

My parents had some haw flakes and we pretended that was the bread to serve during our pretend mass.


The color may not be white being small and round made us resemble what the priest had fed us during our mass during our imagination we didn't care what it was made.

When I was young my parents always ate lunch at China Town in San Francisco after our meal we would walk around to shop around to bring food back home. I love eating the Haw Flakes rolled up and eating each circle shape giving you a tart taste in your mouth.

It was the common candy sold in China Town and being a kid you eat any candy that allow your own parents let you eat when you can.

I grew up with both parents being very strict. I grew up being a picky kid.
