Early yesterday evening I was out on the street literally searching for food. This is new. I eat my share of street food but it’s usually from ambulant vendors of taho (sweet soy bean curd) and sorbetes (traditional home-made ice cream). I have also bought food from parked carts but fish balls and buco juice (young coconut) are about it.
From the classification of hawkers, grilled food sellers are a fascination for me. I have not had much experience with them and aside from the identifiable hotdogs and pork barbeque, I can hardly tell the names of what they’re selling. Oh but did I learn a lot last night! I should have brought my notebook and pen to jot down all those details. But not to despair, they invited me back to watch and take pictures tomorrow.
Why am I doing this? Kai told me to.
This is for Lasang Pinoy which is on its third month now! It’s almost unbelievable how time flies. Was it not only yesterday when we were brainstorming how to launch a Filipino food blogging event in the tradition of Is My Blog Burning?? Now it seems like it has gained momentum such that even non-bloggers are joining in.
We also have such an enthusiastic participation that Lasang Pinoy buttons seem to be popping all over the place. Check them out and take one to use if you wish.
This month’s theme is so interesting that I’ve caught myself wondering about the street food culture in other countries. It would also be nice to hear from our friends from the rest of the world. Do join in the fun!
I would love to say more but I should save the rest of my discoveries for my entry. Hmmm… I might just have more than one.
In the meantime, shall we eat out?
