Homemade Taho

Happy Sunday everyone!

I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday.

We are, It so good to just have a relaxing day with my boys.

For today's breakfast I had some Taho. 

I have been craving for this.

Taho is a Philippine street food sold by peddlers known as "Magtataho" 

Taho is like a soft gelatin-like snack/breakfast in the Philippines made 

in Processed soybeans topped with caramel and sago.

Since I got here in the U.S I never had taho.

I'm so glad I finally got to make some.

This homemade version is made with Silken tofu.

Silken tofu was kind of hard to find, I only got to find it at the Asian Store.

Sago takes a bit of time to make. 

It's much better if you make it the day before you planned on having Taho.

Making it is not complicated at all, Just takes a little bit of time.

If you miss it like I do, I recommend this recipe. 

Let me know what you think.
