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 - 

kanto23

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

kanto21

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

kanto18kanto19

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

kanto20

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


kanto22

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.

  4. Had lunch there with my family today. Although the food is good, I find it overvalued because the servings are small. Serving is good for 2 pax only.
