Taho: Morning Snack

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

In the Isulong SEOPH world, a favorite morning snack is taho. It is basically cooked soy beans blended into a smooth gel-like paste. To add flavor to an otherwise bland snack, you add some sweet syrup (caramelized sugar). You can also put sago or tapioca on top of it.

You’ll usually find taho vendors walking in subdivisions or villages, or milling around churches and office building entrances. The familiar vendor’s call (Tahooooooo!) can be heard several blocks away. Once you get near the vendor, you’ll have a hard time resisting a plastic cup of taho.
