Filipinos Love Street Foods

Street food is popular in all over the world, but nothing can beat the variety of street food in Philippines. Simple yet exotic flavours make philippines street food different and our all-time favorite merienda. No matter where we are, be it a flea market, a mall we always indulge in street food. No outing is ever complete without some pritong atay or isaw.
Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold by a hawker, or vendor, in a street or other public place, such as at a market or fair. It is often sold from a portable food booth,[1] food cart, or food truck and meant for immediate consumption. Some street foods are regional, but many have spread beyond their region of origin. Most street foods are classed as both finger food and fast food, and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. According to a 2007 study from the Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food every day.
Today, people may purchase street food for a number of reasons, such as convenience, to get flavourful food for a reasonable price in a sociable setting, to try ethnic cuisines, or for nostalgia.

  1. Isaw
    We are going to start this list off with a street food that I think reigns supreme on the afternoon grills throughout the Philippines: isaw, which refers to both pig and chicken intestines, grilled over hot fire.
    Starting in the middle to late afternoon, you’ll smell the charcoal being lit, and you’ll know it’s time for your afternoon snack. The intestines are coiled onto skewers, and grilled until charred and smoky. The pig intestines are a little chewier and stronger tasting, while chicken intestines are just like mini tube sausages.
    One of the best things about eating isaw (and true for lots of Filipino street foods) is seasoning with vinegar. Most people like to soak their isaw in chili onion vinegar and let is absorb as much vinegar as possible. The contrast of the smoky isaw with vinegar is extremely satisfying
  2. Kwek kwek
    Another giant of Filipino street food, and popular throughout Manila is kwek kwek.
    Kwek kwek are quail eggs that are coated in an orange colored batter, and deep fried. You’ll notice them by their bright orange color and almost ping pong ball appearance.

Again, you’ll need to season them with vinegar, chilies, and onions, before eating for the best taste. Kwek kwek is kind of like a corndog, but with a quail inside instead of a hot dog.
And so on to the others,,such as fishball, hotdog,chicken leegs, head also (ti-il)

  1. Fish ball, Squid ball, Kikiam
    Fishball are made from pulverized cuttle fish meat or pollock. This pulp is shaped flat before being deep fried then skewered. You can dip them in sweet or spicy vinegar sauce also squid ball prepared in the same way.
  1. Banana cue, Kamote Cue and Turon
    made of slices of banana and kamote ( sweet potato) are coated in brown sugar, deep fried in oil and served in skewers. Turon is made of banana slices and jackfruit ( if you’re lucky) wrapped in spring roll paper and brown sugar. It also deep fried until the sugar caranelizes.
  1. Balut Penoy
    the most famous street food ever in the Philippines. balut is a boiled 17-to-19 old duck embryo which contains the soup, the duckling with bones, feathers, beak and yolk. Penoys on the other hands are hard boiled duck eggs without the fetus. Balut and Penoy are boiled , these delicacies are best enjoyed with salt,vinegar or combination of both. Even Barbeque streetfood is one of the most delicious streetfoods in the philippines, even if some of barbeque was exotic food but filipinos love exotic food such as betamax, adidas( which is chicken feet, isaw, chicken neck)
    Philippine street food is one of the best thing to do when you are in the Philippines..🇵🇭

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
