taho

I bought taho for breakfast yesterday matapos kong tanungin kay ahngel kung anong english ng taho. there's a bean curd stall at suntec.

my taho didn't have sago. I didn't know you have to say you want sago before they put some. It's ok, i don't like sago that much (uuuy, i smell sour grapes).

I miss manong's taho in pinas. Every morning, we wait for him. you'll know he's there when you hear him shout, "ta-hooooooooo!" and then he becomes visible, carrying his stuff: 2 tin pail-like containers attached to the opposite ends of a sturdy pole. and then he expertly scoops the taho, sago, and arnibal. sometimes, he would scoop out some watery substance that formed on top of the taho and throw it on the ground. "manong, padagdag ng arnibal, " and lagi kong sabi.

P5 is just right for a breakfast beverage. Later on, prices increased to P10.

It's a sad news that taho is prepared nastily in pinas, as exposed by a popular news program. It was a shock to most taho fans - kaming lumaki nang naging parte ng buhay ang taho... at si manong.
