Soya Joy: Tahô

Believe it or not, Tahô tops the list as one of my favorite Manila street foods. It's amazing how such a simple snack can make your day good, and how up till today, it is regarded widely as a comfort food: reminders of a more innocent time when people find solace in a warm silken bean curd, sweet brown sugar syrup and soft pearl sago. I remember how when I was younger, hearing the vendor shout "tahooooo!" made me so excited. Soya joy you may call it...

Now who says eating healthy food has to be bland and boring? Although this is a sweet snack food, it is one of the diet food Filipinos take daily. Why you may ask? Its simple, although sweet, Tahô is a soya-rich diet -reduces chances of cardiovascular diseases, cancer and post menopausal syndromes and improves bone density. Also, soy contains the utmost concentration of the mighty isoflavones, which with faithful intake can also promote better breast health for women and prostate health for men.

With the growing awareness amongst Filipinos to take healthy food, Tahô the soya product fulfills the qualifications. High in protein, low in fat and absolutely low cost, soya products will remain the staple in our diet for ages.

Maybe if I could change one thing, I would wish that the street vendors would sell the Taho in a cleaner manner....
