wow, great list... i'm planning to do a menu called "manglalako" and then under that, it would say, "homage to philippine street food" it would include balut, chitcharon na balat ng manok, fishballs(of course), buko pie, the list goes on... you forgot ice candy, hopia, tira-tira, sundot kulangot, boiled quail eggs, hotcakes, popcorn with pink caramel coating, champorado, santol, pineapple, cheese curls(i remember when i was a kid, i traded newspaper for this... now, that i look back, it's really unsanitary... hahaha)

masaganang pagkain!

Ay Ivan,nakakagutom naman itong listahan mo! at nakakahomesick!
Idagdag naman natin yung mga inuming pampalamig tulad ng buko, at melon juice at saka yung hiwa hiwang singkamas na inuulaman ng asin na may konting bagoong,haaay, I'm salivating! And bago ko malimutan, yung ukoy pala, yung maliliit na hipon,togue or bean sprouts mixed in batter, salt and pepper, deep fried and eaten with vinegar and garlic as dipping, and what about kornik? yung mais na tuyo, deep fried with garlic and lots of salt! hmmm yumm! Thnaks for the list, I'll check on it every now and then.

Hi Ivan! It's really time to rave about our street food. From the province of Quezon, it's very clear that Pancit Habhab is a street food. We also have Panadita. these are small empanada shaped pie but with sweet camote filling. Our Maruya is ground rice galapong mixed with shredded young coconut meat, sugar, baking powder and cooked in pans like hotcakes. Parirutong, viloet rice cooked the same way as maruya. The versatile saba comes to life in Quezon towns as "binanging saging" (inihaw) in barbecue sticks every day in front of churches and outside schools.

Hello, I'm looking for the recipe for "authentic" dipping sauces and marinade for street food. Both the sweet and the spicy-vinegary kind. Can somebody ask Mang Larry for me? Tell Mang Larry that I dont plan to go into business and compete with him. It's mainly out of curiosity.
Thanks.

hello ivan! ayus tong ginawa mong dictionary of pinoy street food. ipinapakita lang kung gaano rin tayo ka-malikhain pagdating sa pagluto at pagdevelop ng iba't-ibang uri ng pagkain.

ang bagong uso naman sa kalye ngayon ay yung calamares (deep fried squid in batter)na nabibili sa halagang 3 for 10.00. mabango habang niluluto at isasaw sa suka para matanggal ang lansa. nagkalat ang mga nagtitinda nito kahit saan!

ps
hindi ko lang alam bakit mura ang pusit na ito, sabi ng iba galing daw kasing china...

Thanks for the definition of abnoy. Batanes is definitely on wish list of places to visit. It's just a bit costly which is why I need to save up for it. Since if I'll go, I'd want to visit as many islands as I can. :)

2007-04-01T11:27:00.000+08:00

hi ivan! congrats for winning the best travel blog award! i think 'abnoy' is the unhatched incubated duck's egg (bugok) which is mixed with flour and water and cooked like pancakes. by the way, i would say your travel site would not be complete without your 'personal accounts' from batanes province. do visit the place and i assure you - you'll have no regrets. i come from the place but am here in the US right now. best time to visit is summer...

OMG! I knew we have a lot of street food but not this many! No wonder balikbayans have 'weight issues' after a trip home. Imagine having to try all that food in a short period. Kasi even if you cook it at home, it doesn't always taste the same. Great idea to list them down too. So many new ones (like tokneneng!) balikbayans may not be familiar with.

There's this Filipino street food called Scrambol. It is made up of shaved ice, diced gulaman/gelatin, sago and condensed milk. This treat is very popular amongst Filipino kids.
