Litratong Pinoy#62: Merienda (Snack)

Photobucket

Behold, street food from the Philippines: snacks on sticks grilled over open fire--my favorite! The western world may regard this as "bizarre food," especially where chicken/pork intestines, chicken heads and chicken's coagulated blood are concerned, but I am still a fan. My all-time favorites are actually fishballs/squidballs dipped in spicy sauce, but on this menu you see here, I ordered chicken intestines. Love the smell of smoke, charcoal, and glazed innards wafting across the street. This was from my aunt's subdivision in San Mateo, Rizal, Philippines last November 2008.

This home-made pizza is a popular item in my relative's small business at their neighborhood in Taguig, also in the Philippines. It was served to us as "merienda" when we visited their place back in November. It's not Pizza Hut or even Greenwich, but I loved the sweet flavor of the sauce, the local cheese used and the raw onion bits--giving it more flavor.


Mahilig ako sa inihaw na laman-loob! Lalo na ang isaw! Pero sabi nila, hindi dapat madalas ang pagkain nito dahil hindi maganda sa katawan...nakakataas ng uric acid. Bottomline: masarap itong merienda/pulutan!

Isaw pa rin! Safe naman ito lalo na kung kilala mo naman ang tindera at kita mo naman na malinis ang tindahan at ang pag-prepare nila.

Sana'y magustuhan mo rin ang merienda kong hatid ngayon Hwebes:

Alam mo, nung college ako, once a week kumakain kami ng ganyang pizza sa isang mall malapit sa school. Tig isa kaming box! Minsan maghahati pa kami sa isa pang box ulet. Grabeng katakawan yun!

Marites said...

:D naalala ko noon, may tindahan malapit sa amin na gumagawa ng pizza, kaya kong ubusin ang buong pizza sa isang upuan lang. Oy, Pinoy na pinoy bbqs! saraaaap!

Unknown said...

kapag naaamoy ko ang isaw, di ko alam kung tatakbo ako papalayo o papalapit sa ihawan.:P nagpa-panic!:D

Street food definitely gives you the idea of the local flavor and culture if you're visiting a new place. The pizza looks good.

Sinta said...

Totally understand what you mean :) I love the smell of street food! And yes fish and squid balls are my utter favourite! Chicken intestines taste surprisingly good too! Just wish I could get over the idea 0_o
