Hank Taylor Posted January 8, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Taho is one of the most popular Philippine foods found on the streets it is made out of fresh silken tofu, thick sugar syrup and sago pearls.Once they are ready to serve you they then open their big aluminium tubs and skim off any water that rises on top and try to slice and scoop the very delicate tofu using a spatula like spoon to your mug. They will then open the other aluminum tub which contains the sago pearls and arnibal (the sugar syrup) and using a long syrup ladle they start scooping out that sweet syrup to your mug. Anyway it's delicious just ask any Filipino who may not now be living in the Philippines and I'm sure the name will conjure pleasant memories of their childhood delights. Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

dickgrafixstop Posted January 18, 2014 Share #10 Posted January 18, 2014 Ahhh, a classic White Castle, square roll, sliver of beef (or something), lots of grease and grilled onions you could taste for two days. Those were the days - now they come frozen packaged by the dozen to enjoy without the delicious smells or comradeship of those small diners. A treat unencumbered by taste! Welcome, dear visitor!
