The Old Fashioned Taho

He is our friendly neighborhood magtataho. Although he no longer lugs his taho canisters on his shoulders the way I remember magtatahos did when I was younger, (since he now has his trike), he still calls out that same tune "Tahooooooo! Tahooooooo!" for the whole neighborhood to hear.


The taho, the arnibal and the sago.


Watch as your glass is filled up with these fine ingredients into one deliciously sweet delight that helps perk up our Sunday mornings.


For P15.00, this treat is healthy and oh so worth it.


I have tried new concoctions of the taho in restaurants. But I would say, nothing beats the old fashioned taho.

  1. Inggit ako!!! Why oh why did you post this? My bratinella powers wont be put to use since taho is nonexistent in these parts...impossible to get my hands on these babies.
    Ganda ng pic! Parang the arnibal looks extra gooey, and the taho, extra dumi =) Aylavet!

  2. ay sarap nito!!! usually pag nabili ako nito 1 scoop lang yun arnibal then lots and lots of sago. tapos ayaw ko hinahalo. :)

    tidbits pala about taho, did you know na pwede rin sya pampatanggal ng lasing? kasi yung mga kasamahan ko dati sa work pag nagiinuman sila at malapit na umuwi nabili sila nito. pampatanggal daw ng lasing.

    yes, that arnibal is my favorite. i always ask Manong to put dagdag... pampataba eh. hahaha...

    lovingsue, si Mon naman wants it hinahalo. mix nya agad with a spoon. parang shake.
    wow, i didnt know na pwede pala sa lasing..thanks for the tip!

    blueberrycheesecake, the P15 kasi is for using our own glass... si Mon kasi, kulang yung P10... ako, ok na dun sa P10.

  6. I love taho. I buy a cup for 10 pesos everytime I see the taho vendor. He's also like your magtataho, he's riding a pedicab. But he does not only shout "Tahooooo...." he also has a potpot.

  8. wow, taho. tagal na din ako hindi nakakain nito. me nagtitinda dito sa lugar namin kaya lang pangit ang quality. and medyo madaya yung seller, pag gamit yung sariling glass, ang daming "tubig" na usually inaalis. :(

    in fairness, sosyal nga si manong. de-trike na. ;)

  10. I agree with you that nothing beats the original taho. I also love the arnibal. Di bale na wala nang sago basta damihan yung arnibal. =)
