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.

Chicken and Parmesan Salad from Great Greens Grains & Grains

  Those who don't know Carmina loves to explore eating salad around. Trying something new is the thrill because you get to write down all your experiences. Great Greens has a variety to pick from and my target came to anything that had Chicken and Parmesan Salad for PHP 238.00 ($4.33) not including delivery fee through Grab Food. Chicken and Parmesan Salad includes the following ingredients grilled chicken tenders, romaine lettuce, red cabbage, tomato, onion and quinoa. I had requested not to add quinoa and have the dressing Garlic Aioli on the side.  I prefer adding Ranch Dressing on any salad because it is my favorite that I have store in my fridge at home. Carmina has also tried  Salmon Teriyaki Salad  on the month of March 31, 2022. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Chicken and Parmesan Salad from Great Greens.
