Taho

Inhabitants of underdeveloped nations and victims of natural disasters are the only people who have ever been happy to see soy beans”
Faster than fast food. Better than junks!

that brought such a laugh! there are kids from so-called developed countries whose eyes light up when they see tofu. there are nutritionists from europe and america who have established soy products in the system and who have made this bean product quite well known and very palatable to their co-continent-mates.

putting all of my initial reaction aside, i would also like to say... i love taho. hahahaha. going back home every so often, i still ask the manang or my brothers to call me as soon as they hear a taho vendor on the streets. yes, i think it is healthier than most junk food around. and yes, i also suspect it's not prepared as hygenic as we would have wanted. and yes, i find it quite an inexpensive pleasure.

to stand on the street, watch the man ladle in the taho, the arnibal, the sago... makes me appreciate the way we view time: something to use towards our advantage. and watching something put together, knowing how good it's going to taste after the wait, that makes me all philosophical, too.

the soft light in your pic reminds me of slow afternoons, chatting with friends or family or neighbors, watching the world settle into the night. i like your choice of colors, too. very soothing to the eyes.

you made a beautiful still of something a lot of filipinos can relate to. well done. =) - purplbutrfly
