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.

Two Ways Recipe for Broccoli


How do you cook your broccoli?

Yesterday, I asked Manang V how she cooks her broccoli. Manang V said she cooks it with other vegetables the chop suey or beef with broccoli.

Manang V asked me why I had told her I had purchase some broccoli but wanted to try something new to eat it.

I asked my friend how do you cook your broccoli? My friend said, oh I just steam it up and eat it plain or add cheddar cheese.

I decided to cook it somewhere not even close to what Manang V and my friend had told me how they eat their broccoli. 

I figured since I have my own microwave, and it came with a cooking bowl. I had decided to cook mine in the microwave and use only ingredients I have available in my room having my own refrigerator.
