Taho is a popular Filipino snack made from fresh silken tofu, sweet arnibal (a syrup made from caramelized brown sugar), and sago pearls (similar to tapioca). It's often served warm in small cups and commonly sold by street vendors who walk through neighborhoods in the morning, calling out “Taho!” Traditionally enjoyed as a breakfast treat, taho is loved for its soft texture and comforting sweetness—simple, nostalgic, and satisfying. I grew up eating taho in the morning. Now the sellers of taho is carried by cart already.

I keep hearing about tofu but it doesn't sound good. I'll pass, thanks. We have ice cream vendors that drive through our neighborhoods selling different types of ice cream in the afternoons... Once in a while Pretty will ask if I have any cash and go buy some ice cream cones or something similar from the vendor.

@rakski I should tell Pretty to go ask you for money for ice cream, then.

I've probably never seen tofu mixed with something sweet here and I've been cutting back on the sugar a bit.

that is okay. The sweet sauce can be adjusted according to your taste

That sounds a great snack but I've not very keen on sago. I'd probably pass on having it.

Nothing beats Taho by peddlers, not even those in the groceries and supermarkets!! But they're good for those who can't buy from peddlers.

true. Some of them upgraded it already. Instead of walking, they are using a cart of a pedicab. As for the store-bought, they offered chilled taho and flavored taho as well as the classic

Although it is one of my favorite snacks, since my sugar is not that good, I try to avoid it nowadays. When I was starting to work, there was usually this vendor that sold taho near my workplace. I would usually buy one before going to work.
