Pinoy Street Foods: Boche, Valencia, Turon

boche, valencia, turon in a bilao (winnowing basket)

turon (mongo) for hubby, valencia (banana) for me, and boche just in case we have the urge to eat more - all cost P5.00 a piece.

One of my favorite street peddler in our block is the manang (woman) who sells boche, valencia and turon. She roam around with a winnowing basket full of these treats shouting boche... valencia... in her loudest and most alluring tone. One can be sure to hear and see her an hour or so after lunch as she walk around and knock on gates and doors saying, "suki, meryenda na" (suki is a customer of long standing while meryenda is a snack). I just love it!

Nestle Ice Cream

Mobile Nestle Cart

take your peek or pick

our choice for the day - Twin Popsies, Pinipig Mango Condensada, Fruit Selection Yogurt, Chuckie (cup)

I remember when I was still a little girl wandering around our street, every time I heard the sound of the incoming ice cream cart, I will rush home asking for money but often than not, I get nothing. My nanay is the very definition of frugal (as in), that's why having Twin Popsies (sometimes only half of the twin) or Drumstick at that time was a special (momentous *grins*) event for me. So now, every time the mobile Nestle cart drive by our place, which is everyday, and my son wanted something, I immediately obliged, unless he's sick or on a diet. Syempre pagbili para sa anak kasama na ang para sa ina, binabawi ko ang lahat ng araw noong bata pa ko na di ako pinakain ng nanay ko ng ice cream at ice drop *lol*.

P.S.
I love their new offering, the Pinipig Mango Condensada, I'll feature it here again one of these days *wink*.

Bounty Fresh Roasted Chicken

Bounty Fresh Roasted Chicken
M. Naval St. San Roque,
Navotas City


Roasted Chicken - P150.00

I visited my Nanay's house last week, and as my brother just received his very first salary at that time, he decided to buy the viand for dinner and because he is such a cheapskate *grins*, he only bought two pieces of whole roasted chicken in Bounty Fresh. Hahaha, ako na pinakain, nanglalait pa ako eh no.

The chicken was smaller than the usual (as compared to other brands) but it was very tender and tasty, my Nanay said it is a young chicken daw. I would have given it a perfect rating but they don't have gravy, a big no-no for my son, sayang naman.
