This is Part 3 of my Photo Gallery of roaming street vendors in the Philippines which I will continue to write as I roam around the streets wherever I travel to pay tribute to this vendors who bring food to our tables no matter what the weather is... rain or shine... sometimes even after a stormy weather. They earn their living in a very decent way.
Picture below is a roaming vendor in the main thoroughfare of Metro Manila. In between cars during a traffic jam. He is selling Adobong Mani (fried savory peanuts) and cigarettes, sometimes cold water and rags
Roaming boiled Peanut vendor above with a big tin tub full of boiled Peanuts (Nilagang Mani in Tagalog) under a lighted gas stove so it will remain hot until all are sold. That mobile car is "small but terrible". It carries a big tin tub where maybe 10 kilos of peanuts are being boiled, a gas stove and half full sack of raw or uncooked peanuts.
This picture of the vendor above is quite interesting for me, With his 4-wheeled make shift stall made from leftover woods, he sells fresh Tocino (marinated pork) and Longganisa (traditional savory sausage in Philippines) along the sidewalk of San Pablo City, Laguna
This vendor is selling fresh coconut juice from newly harvested Coconut we call, Buko or Buco in the Philippines which is the source of good Coconut water and soft Coconut Meat which is made into a cold drink called Buco Juice. This picture was also taken near San Pablo City Mall, Laguna
Roaming vendor of deep-fried young chicks called "Day Old", Pork Innards and crispy fried Chicken skin (Balat ng Manok) coated in batter made of flour.
Roaming vendor selling savory snacks, such as deep-fried Kikiam (Quekiam), Fish and Squid Balls for employees in the Electric Company in San Pablo City, Laguna with choices of assorted sauces. This mobile cart is complete with a gas stove to deep-fry the said foods.
Roaming vendors of assorted savory snacks and traditional Philippines ice cream with Mango, Ube and Keso flavors for employees.
The picture below is a roaming vendor of savory and sweet snacks. Savory snacks include Proven, Balat (Skin of Chicken), Isao or Isaw (Pork Intestines) and a sweet snack called Butse/Butsi/Buche, made from glutinous rice stuffed with sweetened mashed Mung Beans, called Munggo in Filipino
Funny how his mobile store looks like, it is surrounded by a grill with a small window where he can give out the orders.
