La.Pi.S#4 Soft


     


What do you think is the  most enduring street food in the Philippines? For me, it’s the Taho (soy bean curd). Soft, creamy and sweet taho. You can get it hot too. We have our suki coming in on weekends. We can usually hear him shout, “Taho! Taho!” before we could see him. After being called, he would settle his taho buckets beside our alley and fix our taho. One tiny cup costs P5.00. One bucket contains the taho and the other contains, the milk, sago pearls(smaller, similar to tapioca balls), caramelized sugar (locally called arnibal), small cups and straws.

How does Mang Taho prepare your order? Using thin ladle, he skims the surface of the soft taho from the taho bucket, transfer the taho to the cup (pic 1), add some caramelized sugar (arnibal) and sago pearls (pic2) and pour some milk (pic3).

Here’s my ready-to-eat taho ..



Here’s another deliciously soft entry.

My friends and I used to have taho daily while studying for the boards. That plus virtually no physical activity made us gain some weight. Taho bought from streets tastes way better than those bought in restaurants. I wonder why.

Oh, I miss taho! For some reason the ones sold on the streets are better than the restaurant ones. Bakit kaya? :o
