Taho Street Vendor

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.

Thanks Paul, it's like our childhood days when the word "White Castle" is mentioned, gee, how I miss those burgers.:)

Hank,

 

How many White Castle hambergers did you get in one sitting? :D I usually tried at least half a dozen.

Your right Quain originally a Chinese dessert from northern China made with very soft tofu. It is also referred to as tofu pudding and soybean pudding (douhua). Cantonese cuisine it is served with sweet ginger or clear syrup, and sometimes as a mixture with black bean paste, and sometimes also with coconut milk. Traditionally it is made with a wooden bucket, which is sold as dau fu fa in wooden bucket (木桶豆腐花) as part of dim sum cuisine. But here in the Philippines it is slightly different and is called Toho.

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!
