Getting hungry can strike anytime, anywhere. Well, if I am on a holiday and my hunger button got tapped, I'd go and hound the streets for sample of the local streetfoods.
Taking a bite of the streetfood of the place that I visit has become an important part of my holiday plan. This is important for me because it mirrors out a reflection of the place's culture, specially culinary ones.
Here are some of my streetfood experience in the City of Pines.
Below are three of my favorite streetfood that I had in Baguio; the strawberry taho, home-made strawberry ice cream and roasted buttered corn
The strawberry taho is just plain taho but, instead of caramelized arnibal, what the Baguio folks did was put fresh strawberries cooked in sweet syrup into the taho as its sweetener. A fruity and healthy option than the plain sugar sweetener.
Meanwhile, when we visited the vast, sprawling strawberry fields of the La Trinidad valley, I was introduced into this local home-made sorbetes ( I prefer not to call this dirty ice cream since for me, I find the term quite demeaning) made from fresh strawberries harvested right from their backyards, which is, the strawberry fields! :) Fresh, cool and affordable, the ice cream provided a cooling relief from the warm weather of the valley.
Roasted buttered sweet corn was next. I am not a fan of corn on a cob for the reason that my dental jackets might be torn from my teeth, but when I sampled the corn my little brother bought from Mines View, oh I was so enticed to buy myself one. I don't know what did they put on with their butter which they use to coat their corn but it was so yummy. Forget the dental jackets for the mean time, that's all that I can say. :)
Cheers folks!

Baguio Councilor Elaine Sembrano asked for the latest data after noting an upsurge in the number of food-serving and food-handling establishments, which might have been overlooked by the CHSO, adding sanitation might not have been monitored.
