New York: Food Trip
While in New York two Sunday’s ago, took advantage and went to eat mass and greasy produced foodsss in Jollibee, hehehe - I ordered yumburger for dine in and took spaghetti and palabok with chicken joy to go. *Kakainin sa byahe?* I wasn’t too happy not so langhap sarap noh. Pucha the veggies in my so called yumberger is so soggy pootah parang nalabsak sa byahe from Pinas hahaha… Kairita! Tapos-tapos-tapos wala pang maupuan as in ang liit ng espasyo ha! Talaga namang inalat na food ko sa tray bago pa ako makakuha ng upuan.
The spaghetti was fine para akong umatend ng childrens party sa kapitbahay bwahaha *Tamis anghang! With all that hotdog pieces…* The serving was big compared sa serving sa Pinas! Oha na adapt na ang American standard!
I noticed something, one of the crew na si Manong eh kinukuha ang tray sa customers kapag itatapon na ang basura sa trash - and he throws it himself, parang sa Pinas talaga hehehe nasa restaurant talaga - (papa, meme, uu bwahaha) uupo ka kakain ka at sabay larga, wa na pakels sa mga pinagbalahuraan mo.
After yumburger comes dessert! Ekkkkkkk if you do desserts in Jollibee you have an eating disorder!!! Ugh - Who eats dessert in Jollibee?
Taho
Is made of fresh soft tofu, and topped with tapioca and brown sugar syrup (sago at arnibal). It is usually peddled in the morning and mamang magtataho usually shouts the word tahooo.
I bought this Taho at Heung Fa Chun in Philadelphia’s Chinatown in Arch Street.
I made my own tapioca pearls and brown syrup though… [I don't like what they put in it. It's like ginger syrup.]
I bought 3 pints lols. Shhhhsshh walang gyera no. I gave 1 pint to the Cheong household and 1 to Michelle and the rest yong isang pint? Inubos ko! Hehehe.
Heung Fa Chun is owned and operated by a Singaporean (I think) couple. Aside from taho they also sell other kinds of sweets. Like mung bean with taro, ma-chang, rice cakes, soya drink - well in fact they do sell pancit and congee here and it is very cheap, compared to the other stores. By the way, they do call taho, dofu - but since the couple has a few Filipino customers they do know it is also called taho with sago, well just in case you might be in Arch Street no.
Puto bumbong at mainit na stokolate
Yesterday afternoon we was in the Filipino store [Bought Alfonso tablea and the ingredients for the puto bumbong.] and even saw nakita namin sila RezeenTot at si Miss Pink Biik o diva!
Pramis sumakit ang mga kamay at kili-kili ko kakakayod noong Ube at niyog arggggggggggggggg…
Cravings: Taho
For days now, I have been really craving for a Taho with brown sugar syrup. Ugh. It’s just too cold to go out and get it. (I am in a hibernating mode as of now lol. Just too cold *bRrrrr* outside.)
This is where I usually buy my Taho. But their Taho is not serve with brown sugar syrup instead it’s ginger. I buy my Taho here and make my own arnibal lol, Yeah!
Taho is made out of fresh soft silken tofu and is processed to a consistency that is very similar to a custard. Brown sugar syrup called arnibal and Sago [Pearls] are added onto it. *Drooling*
I know in the Philippines that they have made out different flavors of Taho. (Syet, parang Hopia at Tikoy lol iba-ibang flavor!) I know that in Baguio they have the Strawberry Taho instead of arnibal they put Strawberry syrup and some chunks of Strawberry awww… [I saw that on heyokity.com while ago...]
