STREET FOODS for #MarketFriday
I know I have been talking a lot of my street food spree a couple of days ago, but I'm sorry I can't help it. I'm gonna talk about it a little more for my #MarketFriday family!
We were in our neighboring city, Ormoc, and our friends toured us around their city, to try out some of the best food in every nook and cranny of the streets.
So, here's our find. First stop was the snack junction called Mayong's Bakeshop and Snackhouse. One of our friends have repeatedly told us that the burger here is good and is relatively cheap. It only costs P55 ($1). And she is right. It was yummy!
Next is the street food around the next corner. We saw a bunch of people lining up for this, so we also lined up with them. We tried kikyam (fried meatloaf sandwich), fried isaw (flour-coated chicken intestines), and kwek-kwek (deep-fried battered hard boiled quail eggs) dipped into sweet and chilli sauce. And again, it was delicious!
Then, we went to the stall of the dragon fruit icecream that our friends have been bragging about the wholeday. Oh boy, this is super yummy!!! I cannot have enough. It is just so creamy, it melts in your mouth. When you visit Ormoc City, this sure is one to try!
Afterwhich, we went to a public playground, to satisfy our little one, and to digest our food as well. Lol. 😂
Then we went to the city's Art Gallery. These are the few paintings that can be found there:
The then city mayor, and now a congresswoman, has been a subject of art, too!
And I so love this abstract painting of bicycle in motion:
Last, but not the least, was our ramen night. We have waited for this, since the vendor would arrive at around 6pm with his mobile cart (or should I say, mobile tricycle). The vendor is a pure blooded Japanese who has a Filipina wife. They cannot afford to rent an expensive space so they just carry all they have and install it at the plaza where there are lots of pedestrian.
And yes, it may be inexpensive, but this ramen is authentic and freshly done. A bowl of ramen only cost P90 (less than $2). Amazing, isn't it?
So, this has been my amazing street food find in the city of Ormoc, and this is specially posted for #MarketFriday by the ever kind-hearted Denise (@dswigle).
Hope you enjoy, as much as I do!
With much thanks,
Ging

Thank you for sharing this very nice post, the food looks great, and $1.00 for a burger is really cheep!!
Nice photos as well!!
Yes, the burger is really cheap, and it's actually good, maybe better than other burgers which sells in a higher price!
Thank you for dropping by. I greatly appreciate it. 😊
Your post sure makes me want to travel there! Good food in the US costs an arm and a leg, including ramen. It costs $15 for a good bowl of ramen! There are so many laws and regulations regarding the selling of prepared foods only the rich can afford good stuff now.
Oh dear! In third world country like ours, street foods are permitted since it is affordable by the masses, but you need to be extra careful in choosing which to eat, since not everyone prepares it properly.
You are welcome to come over. Your money has a higher value here. So, you are a millionaire here?!? Hahaha! 😂😂
That sounds good!
That is such a delicious #MarketFriday, Ging!! @gingbabida
I am still thinking about that dragonfruit ice cream! This was the most wonderful street food tour! Honestly, I loved it and the $1 burger!??
Yes, please!
I have never heard of a fried meatloaf sandwich, but I find myself strangely wanting one! LOL These pictures, along with the words were so fun and made for such a good time, going from place to place and making a blog about it. Thank you so much!
So much fun! Such amazing looking ramen!! Thank you again! Oh, yes! I am still thinking I could fit a little more dessert!! Thank you for taking the time to put together such a great challenge post! It is appreciated and as always, I wish you a wonderful day!
#MarketFriday loves you!

The dragonfruit icecream is one to try!!! It's really, really good!!! 100% guaranteed! Hahaha! 😂 I've been talking about it to friends and family, and we're planning to go there again, and it's two hours drive. Hahaha! 😁😁
The burger is also good! Burger is not so much of our food, we're just copying it from western world, so you might have a higher standard. But for our standard, it is a real deal!!! 😍
Thank you, I'm happy that you enjoyed this post, Denise.
Have a beautiful day.
P.S. Thank you again and again for the tip. 💕💕💕
Oh, it is my pleasure. We have such a wide variance of what is standard here for burgers, and I must say, I love most of them! :)
Thanks again for an awesome blog!
