Taho
Taho is bean curd, sweet (but not too sweet) arnibal (liquefied raw sugar) and soft sago (tapioca balls). Carrying a contraption that consists of two large aluminium buckets specifically designed for taho and a long narrow wooden plank, where these two buckets hang on each end. The vendors herald "TAHOOOOOO!" while walking at a considerable pace along the sidewalk. The history of taho is not yet fully understood, but early records suggest that the delicacy is from China, adapted by Filipinos.
Hi Sidney,

Sago = tapioca balls. I learned something new today! I blogged about guinataan a couple of times in my previous posts, and I didn't know how to translate sago. Thanks Sidney!
