BAYANIHAN REPUBLIC:
Tahoooo!!! Tahoooo!!! Tahooooo!!! I used to hear this line in our neighborhood in Makati City (a city in Metro Manila) when I was a kid. This often wakes me up during Saturday mornings (as for weekdays, I usually wake up at 5:30 am for my morning classes, which is way earlier than the round of that morning shouts). So during weekends, when I hear that shout, I immediately grab my cup from the kitchen and run towards the gate to buy my favorite taho which I think is an icon in Pinoy's breakfast meal.
Taho is a Philippine snack food, traditionally sold and taken during mornings, made out of medium firmness tofu, arnibal (similar to caramel) and sago (similar to pearl tapioca). Philippines' taho, which can be found anywhere in the country, is similar to Indonesia's and Malaysia's tahu. Ancient records suggest that taho originated from the Chinese douhua. Even before the Spanish conquest of the Philippine islands, Chinese traders have interacted with our forefathers, hence enriching our culinary.
