Soy Yummy Chilled Taho

Carmina had missed eating taho for breakfast usually in the Philippines you would hear a man selling outside in the street. He would ring his bell passing each homes in you're neighborhood. He would yell out saying taho. You would ask someone to get some bowls, a tray and money to pay the person. Life became different you end up ordering your own from  Buildamart  in New Manila through Grab Mart for PHP 63.24 350 grams (large size). I was able to try Soy Yummy Chilled Taho for the first time. It is easy to mix together while all the ingredients are separated from each other. Soy Yummy Chilled Taho is not sweet to the ones you buy off the street and you can adjust the taste to how much serving you want in the time you plan to eat it. Carmina is not selling or advertising for Soy Yummy Chilled Taho and Buildamart located in New Manila Philippines.
