Ang Sweet Corn

The Sweet Corn is steamed until cooked. A vendor will have a  big steamer like with wheels and this is where all this Sweet Corn will be steamed. They will also provide a customer an added margarine or a sprinkle of iodized salt for taste. This usually cost around 20 to 25 pesos maybe depending on the size of the corn.

Ang Fried Isaw

Isaw is one of the more popular food here in the Philippines. And now I'm showing you one way a vendor sells this, deep fried with a batter. Found this one just at the front of Makati Square and sold at 5 pesos per stick. You can dip this in vinegar provided. The food tastewise is ok.

Ang Pritong Mani

Most of us Filipinos knows about this and you can see this being sold everywhere. The peanuts are deep fried until cooked then will be added iodized salt for taste. For spicy ones the peanuts are fried together with chili. I love eating this together with the thinly sliced and fried garlic. This is sold for 5 to 10 pesos.

Ang Crablets

I was really surprised to see this one being sold on foot on a beach resort in Cavite. This usually is served on a seafood restaurant (some stalls on foodcourts also sell this) and this does not come cheap.
But it was sold to me at only 25 pesos and also comes with vinegar. Tastewise its on the bitter side, maybe because of the batter used or the way it was fried, but would be great accompanied by a cold beer.

Ang Kwek Kwek at ang Tokneneng

One of the more famous filipino street foods the kwek kwek and tokneneng. Leave it to filipinos in inventing such a name, quite catchy if you ask me. Tokneneng is made up of harboiled chicken eggs or duck eggs (penoy in tagalog) together with a colored orange batter then deep fried. Kwek kwek on the other hand is made up of quail eggs (itlog ng pugo). This is served up together with vinegar (yes vinegar, we filipinos love our food with vinegar) mixed with onions and sometimes with chopped up cucumber (pipino). They also offer salt and chili for their customers taste preference. Tokneneng's price has gone up to 10 pesos each while kwek kwek is at 3 (sometimes sold as 2.50) pesos each. A stall may also sell a deep fried battered balut.

Ang Bopis

Yes this street food is a twist to an original filipino food of the same name. What's the twist? Its in a stick of course like most other street foods.Then is lightly cooked in a shallow pan with oil. Comes with it is a dip made of vinegar mixed with soy sauce, onions and chili. There are two varieties that they offer, i think the black one is made of lungs which costs 2 pesos and the orange one i don't know what part it is and it costs 3 pesos per stick.

Ang Fish Balls

This is one street food that our parents warns us about. Famous in the streets, this street food is known in other names as "tusok tusok" or "tuhog tuhog" because of the way you get the food by using a stick. Don't really know if it have fish in it, how it is made or the history but one thing is for sure, its one way to get rid of your hunger fast because it literaly can be found everywhere specially when youre in a very tight budget. Just have a two pesos or five peso coins and youre good.Fish Balls is cooked in a pan almost half full of oil. This food comes with a small variety of dips namely vinegar, a sweet sauce and a spicy one. Over the years the variety of what a fish ball vendor sells have increased. Now they sell it together with Kikiam, Squid Ball, Chicken Balls and Orlians.

Why i made this blog

I have thought about it for a long time and never realy attempted to do it until now. I really love food. Specially Filipino foods. From Street Food o "Pagkaing Kalye", House Cooked Meal o "Lutong Bahay" and even restaurant or fastfood. And now this is where I make my view on different foods offered by Filipinos.
