I remember my childhood neighborhood. We had plenty of those green mangoes, papayas and bananas fresh from the tree.

After 11 yrs., I went home to the Philippines...thanks to My Sari-Sari store .. (LOL) and the first thing that made me "laway" on the way up to Baguio was this vendor with "Manggang Hilaw with Bagoong" Oh Boy! I can finish 1 mango in a second.. I've forgotten Texas for a while....

There are food in variety and quantity!! :D

Oh yeah! My favorite is the plantain bananas fried in oil with caramelized sugar. These foods sold in the streets are truly for the natives. Alas, once you are no longer used to these type of food preparation, you lose immunity from diseases. I don't want to spoil everyone's appetite but there are no sanitary regulations for these vendors. The last two times I went to the Philippines I had amoebic dysentery, one from a restaurant in Manila after eating Pansit Palabok and another time from eating suman and was hospitalized. So now, every time I go to the Philippines, I lose weight because I am afraid to eat.

Yum. I'll take some of the banana cue and the corn, please. :)

[pieterbie]

Oh yeah, I could die or get the runs on this stuff.
Very fruity and tasty.

For the first time I can say that I have eaten everything here, despite the cases of people being poisoned by using the wrong type of Camote. The fruit in the Philippines has to be the best in the world.
