tahotaho stationTaho (soybean custard) used to be exclusively a street food sold by ambulant vendors . Nowadays, you can find taho sold at malls like “Taho Station”. Past controversy revolved on the “plaster of paris” in the taho being sold by the street taho vendor. Definitely “plaster of paris” is not used for the taho at the “Taho Station”. In fact, taho is sold with sago (tapioca balls) and nata de coco along with arnibal (molasses). The Nata de coco is a chewy, translucent, jelly-like food product produced by the bacterial fermentation of coconut water.

The taho station even displayed the aluminum vat contraption carried by the ambulant vendors. It gives you the deja vu feeling of childhood days when one buys taho from these ambulant vendors.

    […] Taho is basically soft soy bean curd and you can find it at most grocery stores but getting it fresh is better.  Sometimes I get mine from Hodo Soy Beanery at the Berkeley Farmer’s market or at this Chinese grocery store in downtown Oakland.  The first time I went to go pick it up at Hodo Soy, the vendor gave me this look like “you know what that is, you’re Filipino.”  I gave him a glance that said “yup”.
