TAHO by the Beach... (ft. my Father... lol)



Last time, I mentioned that my father and I decided to go to the beach for our morning jog instead of just staying at the track oval. It was too crowded there as the sun was about to rise.

As we enjoyed the sea breeze and the beautiful sunrise, I spotted a taho vendor. I asked my father if he had brought any money because I suddenly craved some, as it had been a while since I'd had it. Fortunately, he had his coin purse with him, so he bought me some taho.





Of course, he also bought one for himself. :)




Taho is a famous Filipino street food dessert. It's basically soft tofu, sago (small pearls similar to tapioca), and brown sugar syrup. However, for this particular vendor, he also added a bit of condensed milk. It was too sweet for me... I should have asked him not to put some. XD





Despite it being sweeter than I liked, I still enjoyed it. It was warm and delicious. This smaller cup of taho is just Php 10 ($0.17). There's a bigger cup which is double the price.

Taho vendors usually go around residential streets and/or public places shouting "TAHOOOO" to get their potential customers' attention. Our house is away from the main road, so they seldom pass by.

Have you ever tried this one? Or does your country have a similar snack?

If you happen to come to the Philippines and hear someone shouting "TAHO", call him by shouting the same thing and try this delicious treat! It's definitely one of my comfort foods as it doesn't only warm my tummy, but also my heart. <3

I'll end this post here. Thanks a lot for reading and see you around! I'll exercise for a bit before hitting the sack... it's back to regular work from tomorrow! XD

The sun and sky earlier today... XD


Have a great one!

I think we have similar one at Malaysia, we called it tofufah. Enjoy!
Sending you Ecency curation votes.😉

I checked it and it does look similar... Thanks for sharing and curating! Have a good one... 💙✨

w/ condensed milk -- that's new!

Taho is a default whenever I encounter the vendors, especially in the morning.

Right? the brown sugar syrup was already sweet enough... haha
But many sweet tooth may enjoy it more. XD

I rarely hear taho vendor here at our place, and now I am craving for one hehe. I think a morning jog on the beach is much better lucky for you the beach is just close to your home :D

Yeah... theyre not as common as they used to. XD
The beach is just 15 minutes away if we follow the shortest route on foot. ^^

That's right! We used to run just to call the taho vendor, LOL good old days ~ wow walking distance it's not bad :D

Trueeee... it's nostalgic! :)
Yep... it's pretty close. ^^

Right~ :D

I haven't had taho in a long time. There's no taho vendor in my area now. I notice that it's not very common in Cebu City. When I visited my brother in Metro Manila, some taho vendors passed by their house every morning. I like it especially when it's warm. Yes, we eagerly waited to hear the vendor shouting "taho!" so we could buy this cup of goodness. Lovely time enjoying your cup of taho with your father by the beach .

True... it's rare to see them these days. Wala na sa Cebu? I'm from Talisay, btw... ^^
Mas daghan siguro sa suburban areas... ^^

Thanks for dropping by! :D

Thanks for posting in the ASEAN Hive Community.

Wow taho is everywhere. Normally taho is only one flavor. But nowadays there are lots of flavor of it. I love the ube and pandan flavored taho. And taho is twice the price compared to 2 years ago.

I haven't tried flavored taho, but I've always been curious about the strawberry one in Baguio. I've only seen it on TV, though... and yes, the price and size were the biggest changes. haha XD
