Halo Halo de Iloko

I'm not a fan of halo halo but I like the one they have because of it's unique taste and presentation (but I still can't finish one serving).

The place had a lot of interesting things here and there, so make sure your cam has enough battery during your visit. Most of my snaps are the corners of the place. We went here dinner time on a Sunday and as expected, the place was loaded.

They also serve rice and snacks but we went here for desserts. Make sure to get some extra yema pandan, it's heaven in the mouth!

The Food

Fiesta Halo Halo (Php 99)

All stuff that you can think of in a halo halo is here, plus the extra yema pandan, YUMMY!!! I only finished half coz I'm not that into halo halo , plus the glass is bigger than my face!

Buko Halo Halo (Php 185)

Same ingredients as above, it's just that serving's for sharing or for a halo halo addict.

Chubby Bib's

It was Chubby Bib's soft opening when we went there last month. It was a Sunday, lunch time, and we had the place to ourselves at first so I had the chance to take some good snaps of the place. It's just small but it gives that cozy feel.

The menu's really exciting but I was a bit disappointed when it was served coz it wasn't what I pictured in mind as how it was described. Good concept but it was not executed well especially considering the price. The drinks are good though. Maybe I'll be back for the tacos.

The Food

Burrgito with Fries (Php 160)

It's a twist of burrito and burger. It's so filling coz of the rice so I personally would prefer it with nachos rather than the fries (carb loading!). Ground meat instead of pulled meat, it's the burger part of it.

Chicken Schnitzel with Gravy (Phph 156)

This actually offers a variety of sauces to choose from and some specialty fried rice. Chicken was dry and a bit hard with the breading.

T-bone Steak (Php 185)

This was served with soup, side vegetables, and rice. Meat was well done, nothing striking about the flavor and texture. I honestly dunno if I have the right complain for a Php 180 worth of steak...
