Sa Kanto at The Podium

But before we go into that, I would like to congratulate the winner of our Whirlpool 100 Recipe's cookbook.  After a random draw, our winner is no other than

Ms. Rachelle Therese F. Gonzales

Congratulations!  You just won for yourself a limited edition Whirlpool 100 Recipe's Cookbook.  Please expect an email from me, on how you could pick up your prize... and so back to our post.

Sa Kanto, so you wonder why the name?  Well "Sa Kanto" in English would mean "at the corner".  That is what we usually say or go to when we look for well, street food.  And Sa Kanto offers a wide array of treats that most of us, because of hygienic purposes, are depriving ourselves of.

We pass by those carts everyday selling those chicken balls, fish balls, isaw, quek quek, one-day old, quikiam ahh... your thinking I would want one of those treats, but seeing the pollution around and the dipping, we can't help ourselves but be afraid that we might get our stomachs upset.  And so with that in mind, Sa Kanto gave us what our tastes have been craving for.

Presenting Sa Kanto street foods - 

Crisp crablets (P260)

You simply have to order this, you won't find this on the streets but these are awesome, battered and crisp topped with potato strings, simply made my day

Fried Isaw (P80)

Chicken intestines deep fried to a crisp with sinamak, has got to be one of the most sought after treats here, as it is on the streets

Fish balls - 5 sticks (P80) and Kwek Kwek (P110) 
by far the most prominent and the best selling across the streets of the metro, if you haven't tried this on the streets, this is by far the cleanest you would have in the whole metro

Dynamite (P250) 

 got its name obviously because of how it looks and by golly it's hot, those who love spicy food, this is definitely your treat, beefy goodness wrapped in pepper and deep fried to a golden crisp, it was quite hot for me, I only took a bite and surrendered

Chicharon Bulaklak (P220)

Pork intestines deep fried, deadly but delicious, many have fallen gaga over this treat.  Dip in white vinegar brings heaven's door closer to you with every bite (I'm serious!)

But Filipino treats aren't just street foods, Sa Kanto also offers Filipino comfort foods that you don't usually have at home, or just thinking of it? You miss having at home.

 Ensalandng Mangga (P150) on the left and

Ilo-Ilo's Pancit Molo (P170)
