TAHO TAHO!


           Taho this is what we loved. Filipino delicacy street food sold by peddlers called here in the philippines "magtataho". It is coagulated soya drink with delicious caramel also called "arnibal" on the topped and tapioca pearl in tagalog it's called sago. Taho is made from process soy beans, you may also use a super soft tofu and dark brown sugar for the caramel and tapioca pearls that you can buy anywhere either wet market or dry market. 

            I remember when I was a child. I always wait the peddlers (magtataho) was named Kuya Boyet at 8:00 in the morning to come in front of our house shouting "taho !!!! taho!!!!! kau dyan!!!! and preparing a cup a big one cup and will give it to him. Before it's only cost P5 pesos but now it's cost P10 pesos to P20 pesos and still affordable price . It's yummy and so delicious to taste. Not only a child love this street food even my Mama and Papa loved it so much and always told that "this taho even consider it as a cheap food it is a good source of vitamin good for our body". 

          Taho is originated in China. And I found out that Soft Tofu called in the Asian market as Soy pudding. 




           These are the ingredients how to make home made taho:

  • Extra Soft Tofu or Soy pudding
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Tapioca Pearl
  • Brown sugar
  1. Rinse the soaked tapioca pearls and put it in the pan. Add enough water good for the pearl and simmer up to 10 to 15 minutes until it becomes transparent then set aside.
  2. For making the caramel or the arnibal you need to do, is to mix water and brown sugar and simmer until the sugar fully dissolved and turn off the stove and put the Vanilla extract on it.
  3. Put the Extra Soft tofu or Soy pudding into the microwave for a couple of minutes or steam until warm
  4. And lastly put 2 to 3 tablespoon and serve it hot. And if you don't like hot taho, put Taho in the refrigerator until it's cold and served.
          As an Additional information. In Baguio there's a kind of Taho Strawberry Flavor.
