This food is famous among the Filipinos especially when a man shouting/yelling a familiar term with a high and low note coming from outside. Moreover, we and mostly the kids love to mimic what the man shouting. We usually eat this in the morning and sometimes serve as our breakfast.  Yeah, I’m talking about the famous TAHO (tahoooooooo, tahooooooo!).

The vendor or also known from the name “Manong” brings two aluminum drum or container. The big one contains Taho (the white one), it is made from squeezed (I don’t know the exact process to make a Taho) soya bean. The small container divided into two parts; for the Sago (tapioca balls) and for the Arnibal (the syrup for Taho to makes it sweet).

To prepare a delicious Taho, Manong will scoop the Taho itself; the volume of the Taho will be scoop is depend to how much the customer pays. After that, Manong will add the Sago and the Arnibal that is sufficient to the volume of Taho and he will mix the Taho gently. You can now eat your delicious Taho.

A funny fact connected to Taho. Kids are usually compared the container of Taho to the transformer that you may see in the posts because they have similar appearance and shape.

Nowadays, the variation of Taho booms. Some vendors puts some gimmick to their Taho, they blend some flavor to their Taho like Chocolate Taho, Strawberry Taho, Mango Taho, etc. Try our famous and delicious Taho with a cheap price ^_^.

Sinigang na Baboy


Sinigang na Baboy is a Filipino classic food which Filipinos and some foreigners likes it because of its sourness of soup came from Sampalok (Tamarind). This food is consist of pork, some traditional vegetables that use in this dish like okra (lady’s finger), talong (eggplant), sitaw (yard-long beans), kangkong (swamp spinach) & gabi (taro) and the special ingredient is the Sampalok the makes its soup sour, but some uses Kamias instead of Sampalok.
There are varieties of Sinigang depending on the ingredients they uses like Sinigang na Hipon, Sinigang sa Miso and etc. I realy like the sour soup of Sinigang especially in rainy days because my body temperature keeps hot when I drink its soup and my most favorite type of Sinigang is Sinigang na Hipon (shrimp instead of pork). 

To those who doesn’t it this food yet, try to have same and taste the sourness of Sinigang. Let’s eat.
