Famous Street Foods in the Philippines

Siamo giunti alla fine del nostro viaggio tra i sapori e i profumi della cucina filippina. Lo Street food è una vera caratteristica del mio Paese: una grande varietà di piatti tipici a prezzi bassi. In ogni angolo delle strade ci sono i carrettini oppure delle bancarelle con le specialità più gustose della tradizione culinaria filippina. In Italia si dice: “l’appetito viene mangiando. Nelle Filippine aggiungo: “l’appetito viene camminando!”

Street foods is ready-to-eat food or drink typically sold by a vendor on a street and in other public places such as on schools, parks, churches, bus terminals and at markets or fair. It is often sold from a portable food booth, food cart, or food truck and meant for immediate consumption.

Most street foods are classed as both finger food and fast food. Cheap, delicious that your tummy will satisfied and can be found everywhere.
