Good Day!
Let me take you to a place that showcases some of the street food of the Philippines.
My colleagues wanted to go to a place to eat some Ihaw Ihaw(Barbecue) after work. One of my colleagues recommended a stall right beside where he lives. This was located at Leonila Hill.
As I entered, there were tupperwares with different kinds of food that you can have Barbecued. As I recall there was
Isaw- which refers to both pig and chicken intestines
Helmets/ Adidas- which is Chicken head and Chicken Feet(Yup! they call chicken feet Adidas in our country because when you look at it, the three long finger strips of the chickens foot resembles the old Adidas logo.
Betamax- which is chicken blood that has been dried up and shaped into rectangular pieces. It's named after a Betamax because it resembles the shape of a Betamax tape.
Pork ears, hotdog and Pork Barbeque
Inside the pot, they were selling different kinds of viands. I didn't bother to look what was inside.
This was my experience in this place. I chose the food that I wanted and put it in a plate. After choosing, I had to show it to the lady who was selling and she told me how much was everything. After paying, they are going to grill your food. The photo below was divided into two orders, mine and my colleagues. Mine was at the right side, I ordered Chicken and Pork Intestines and a pork Barbeque.
We were a lot and there people before us so we had to wait for ours to be grilled so one of my colleagues needed to buy some fruits and vegetables before going to the BBQ stand there was a stall that sold those. They had different kinds of vegetables and fruits, they also sold some raw pork and chicken meat. If there's something that I learned from this kinds of places, it's better if you know how much is the standard retail price because they tend to place a high interest.
While they were choosing what they wanted to buy, I took a photo, if you go down there it's Leonila Hill already, that's where the BBQ place was located. I still think that all the electrical wires in the post is really unpleast to look at.
When we went back, they started grilling our food. Look at all those sticks lined up. The aroma that's emitted by the food that was being grilled made me hungry.
This was the finished product. People usually eat this with vinegar. My favorite from all of these were the pork intestines, it just had a distinct flavor that I liked.The chicken intestines were okay and The pork BBQ was kinda tough. I just wish they had a better tasting basting sauce.
While we were eating, we ordered some grilled corn. While they were grilling the corn, I didn't expect that the cooking time would take long, it took around 20 minutes for it to be done.
You can see that the first four corn cobs were turning dark yellow because it's starting to get cooked.
This was the finished product, from the grill
To flavor it, we slathered it with margarine which they brought out and added some salt. Though we were not able to eat it there because of the time. Most of us brought home the corn. I wasn't able to taste the corn because I opted to give it to one of our helpers. He was really thankful for it.
I hope you guys enjoyed reading! Stay safe always!
Thanks for reading and Have a great day!

Excelente paseo de mercado, esa es la magia de un mercado callejero, su diversidad y excentricidad gastronómica. Con el maíz me devolviste a mi infancia, en casa dejaban la última capa de concha y lo ponían directo a la brasa, lo cual ayudaba un poquito a que no se quemará tanto. Ese sabor es un inimitable. Sin duda alguna habrás disfrutado de esa mezcla dulce, ahumada y jugosa. Felicidades. Me encantó.
I'm glad that you were able to reminisce about your childhood. Thank you for giving me a tip on how corn should be grilled. I have to try it one time. Thank you so much for dropping by and stay safe always!
Very nice article, but I must admit, that most of the food we don't get here or rather eat here. The chicken feet is called run-away's here in South Africa.

I love seeing different barbeques around the world. You would never see a chicken head around here, but, everywhere around the world, they are a popular item. That is exactly what I find interesting about the various cultures. Everything looked delicious, but, the basting sauce is key. Without a great one, the meat is not as tasty as it could be. Even a tough piece will be acceptable with a good sauce.
Corn on the cob, unless it is preboiled. It takes about twenty minutes to cook. It is delicious and I am sorry you missed it, but, I think that was very kind of you to give to your employee.
Thank you for joining!!!

I remember that my dad used to feed his snakes chicken heads so when I saw it in the BBQ place, I didn't want to try it hehe. Yes, that's true basting is the key to make everything good!
Sometimes it just feels so good to give.
