"I decided to eat and experience their food. I'm so amazed that the reviews are true. Halo Halo is delicious and creamy. Palabok has umami taste which is new to my tastebud and it's good. I told myself that I will comeback and eat again here if I have time and buy more on menu. I wish I took a photo from the food server. Pros: Delicious food, beautiful food server. Cons: Closed during Wednesday and no definite parking, roadside parking."

"Been back couple of times already. One of the best halo halos i’ve tried. Kinda far from town center but worth the drive. Price is reasonable. The place is humble and neat. And the staff are all proactive. It’s on the highway roadside, so vehicle noises are expected. One downside is street parking is the only choice available."
