pinoy street food

Like our counterparts in Asia, Filipinos love to feast on those salivating exotic street food found everywhere in the Philippines.

Wherever there’s a market, a heavily traffic road, schools, church areas, and in obscure street corners, a street food vendor will never lack for customers who crave for isaw, kikiam, fishballs, or those flour breaded chicken skin deep fried in oil.

The photo above was taken in Baguio City. Grilled corn on stick, dried squid, dried fish, and everyone’s favorite the banana cue are great substitute to those fast food choices to cure the ordinary Pinoy’s hunger pangs.

And we can name at least a hundred Pinoy street food: balut, penoy, tokneneng, betamax (grilled chicken or pig’s blood), adidas (chicken feet), IUD (chicken intestine), and many many others.

The most amazing thing is, Filipinos never stop in concocting new food recipe to sell in the streets. In time always a new type of street food satisfies the palette of the chow loving Filipinos.
