The stall to pioneer fried isaw is near De La Salle CSB. Then I love the freshly-fried quail eggs at PNU corner of Taft Avenue and Ayala. Then the best calamares would be found at PUP along Teresa Street. Actually, a diverse selection of street foods there.

My parents who doesn’t like us eating street food actually buys these calamares off the street. Instant ulam!

those are imported frozen squid. compared to local squid, they are not as tasty. they cost around p90/kg., cheaper than local.

they are best fried, as they are fatter and do not shrink and are tender compared to local squid; because of the fat content.

but, as adobo, they are not suitable. i guess the freshness matters for adobo or when grilled.

but i must add that they are excellent when fried with batter !

and at p3/ring, excellent value !

Ay, Gita, nakita ko na rin yun. Parang sarap na sarap nga yung mga tao, kaso isip ko baka parang calamares lang yun? Albeit cheaper version. Nakita ko kasing tinutuhog nila was the squid rings version.

Just an aside, sa South Supermarket, they don’t only sell squid rings, they also sell squid wings. Hahaha, laughtrip 😛

Kaoko: Whenever I was asked what I missed most about the Philippines when I was in Melbourne, I always reply that I miss the streetfood the most! Wala kasing ganun dun eh! 😀

Gita: I’ve seen those! May nadaanan ako sa Ermita dati, kaso I was in a hurry and di ko masyado feel kumain magisa kaya di ako bumili. Pero it smells so good nga!

I love street food as well. I remember trooping to the Agno parking lot behind school for squidballs. Eating kwek-kwek (tokneneng) at a stall outside Anna-Lynn’s in Alabang. Eating more kwek-kwek inside the Moonwalk market. And of course, more squidballs outside our office building along Ayala. Unfortunately for me, none of these streetfood stands are still accessible for me. 🙁 Streetfood withdrawal. *sob sob sob*
