Assorted Fruits for Sale
merrycreation
Cradled by a wooden cart, assorted fruits are situated on the corners of downtown lanes. Sliced and chopped mangoes, pineapple, turnips, and papaya fruits are sold at five to ten pesos. Placed in small-sized cellophane, these juicy and crunchy fruits are best eaten with a pinch of salt mixed with vinegar. It is a better option to satisfy your craving in eating finger foods than having junk foods. Delight yourselves with the benefits you can reap from these fruits. Mangoes are high in fiber, potassium, calcium and iron, and rich in Vitamins A, B, and C. Papaya aids in our bowel movement because it has chemicals that enable digestion of protein. It is also a favorite fruit of middle-aged people since it contains properties that control ageing. Turnips are a good source of Vitamin C, B6, and E, and packed with thiamine, potassium, and folic acid. The tropical fruit, pineapple, is loaded with Vitamins A and C, plus calcium, phosphorus, potassium, carbohydrates, and fiber. With its healthy contents, pineapple is beneficial in conditions such as constipation, arthritis, hypertension, bronchitis, and dyspepsia, and it even prevents blood clot formation and is used in removing intestinal worms. Amazing!

Proben
merrycreation
Once you pop, you can’t seem to stop. This is how it feels when you keep on munching a stick of “proben.” This mouth-watering chicken gizzard, dipped in flour, deep-fried, and sold in roadside stalls, is the newest craze in town. Believe me, one stick is not enough. An intention of spending five to ten pesos (a stick costs five pesos), you will end up spending thirty pesos. It’s a perfect ‘merienda’ after a hard day’s work. It can even be your viand for dinner because it goes well with rice and a cup of buko juice. If I would have to speak of its taste, I would rather say that it is indescribable. Many of you might say that chicken gizzard itself is disgusting, but there’s something in “proben” that alters that conviction. It’s crispy on the outside, juicy and chewy on the inside. Immersing it to a choice of sweet sauce or spicy vinegar makes it more enticing! If you’re not convinced yet, better take a look at those hungry people crowding at "proben" stalls, eager to take a bite. As what a vendor had said, its name “proben” is derived from the two words “proben masarap”, or in English, “proven delicious!”

Kwek-kwek
merrycreation
As you pass by downtown streets, you will notice a bunch of people flocking around a small foodstand. They seem to be very busy trying to pick-up an oval-shaped, orange thing using a barbecue stick. They put this on a small disposable plate, with sliced cucumber, seaweeds, and vinegar on the side. What is this thing? A hard-boiled egg wrapped in a flour with an orange food coloring, they call this appetizing food "kwek-kwek." It has a distinct taste that you would rather spend eight pesos than going home and cooking your own hard-boiled egg. It may appear just like a small piece of food with crunchy cucumber and seaweeds as sidings, but as you have your last bits and pieces of it, from a person with an empty stomach, you will find yourself touching your tummy, full and satisfied. Burp!
