Kabigting's Halo-halo, another Kapampangan's pride

Talking about Halo-halo, Pampanga has a lot to offer.  There's Razon's of Guagua, Corazon's and Susie's of Angeles City and Kabigting's of Arayat.   I have tried the Razon's halo-halo in its main branch in Guagua years back and I fell in love with it that is why whenever I get a chance and is craving for one, I easily go to their branch at Nepo, Angeles City.  Corazon's and Susie's are also very accessible. I can get an order immediately whenever I want to.

With Kabigting's, it's a different story.  Arayat, Pampanga is far from my town, Porac.  I never get a chance to check theirs in Arayat.  So, when I heard a colleague from work, Jackie being addicted to this halo-halo and frequenting Marquee Mall just for that, I had to pull my friend, Nikki who's a sweet-tooth person like me to sample it.  Boy, I wasn't disappointed! It's addicting!  Just thinking of it and writing it about it now makes me want to grab one!

Their menu.  This could have been better if not for the handwriting and erasures.  Anyway, it doesn't matter as we're after the taste.



Palabok.  Equally delicious as their halo-halo.



The star! My eyes were drooling over the pastillas settled at the bottom. I was getting anxious to spoon it.  Hahah!



See?  The secret ingredients.  I really don't think they are secret.  The milk is not sweet which I heard is carabao's milk.  The spooned ingredients are pastillas which they also sell, sweet corn and beans.  Just like Razon's, its simplicity is what I love!



What can you say? You be the judge and tell me if we enjoyed it.  :D


Our Korean look by Tony & Jackey

I have been getting bored with my long hair and wanted a different look.  I was considering a haircut and/or a digital perm so, I asked my friend, Nikki which I know can always accompany and support me with such activity and request.  So, last June 2 before I reported to work and which is in time before my niece's birthday (talking about preparation...LOL),  even if it was raining, we pushed through with our plan of meeting up at Marquee Mall and check the Korean salon, Tony & Jackey.  Even before this was put up in Pampanga, I have read reviews from blogs in Manila of the said salon that perked up my curiosity and wanted to try it then.  Time has been the problem.

It's a good thing it's available here now.  Well, we have a lot of Koreans in Angeles City, thus a ready market for them.

Me and Nikki before our transformation. Hehe!  Prior to going to the salon, Nikki wasn't hundred percent sure if she really wanted to have her hair done.  After seeing the magazine of beautiful haircuts, she immediately gave in!



I love having my hair shampooed here. The chair is soooo ergonomically friendly! It adjusts automatically to where needed.



Nikki's turn.  You might  notice that I was wearing a robe while Nikki is not.  This is because I had a hair spa done as well which I guess requires to wear a pink robe. LOL



Nikki's looooong hair now ready to be cut.  The hairdresser is so cool and very meticulous.



Heat as being applied to my treatment.  I like the combination of pink and purple.  So girly! I wonder what colors they use for men. Hahah!



Our new looks.  Do you like them?  Feeling Koreans, huh?



I had a funny feeling in this salon because while all salons I've been to , after the haircut and blow dry, hairdressers would straighten the hair.  With this one, the hairdresser used a hair straightener iron not to straighten but curl our hair in less than 5 minutes! So cool! I wish I could do such.




Nikki and I looked like we're going to attend a party. Hahah!  Seeing the outcome of this, might consider digital perming next time.  :)
