It’s BC Bloggers Meme Day and today’s question is:
What food takes you back to your childhood?
There are lots of food that brings me back to my childhood, just because they were my favorites before. Allow me to tell you one by one:
FISHBALLS. Outside our school gates, there would always be this man who had a pushcart where he can cook fishballs. There would be different kinds of sauces in jars where you can dip your fishballs. Yummy!
SCRAMBLE. And there would be another man outside the school gate, who set up the sidecar of his bicycle as a moving store. He had a blender and he would mix crushed ice with either orange or strawberry flavors. A refreshing drink on a hot summer!
CHEESE CURLS. I knew it was junk food, but I was not really interested about the cheese curls,but I was more excited about the kind of toy they had on every pack.
LALA CHOCOLATES. These were the cheap chocolates proudly-made from my little town Guiguinto. There was a rumor that the factory was located beside a funeral parlor, but we still loved it 🙂
SOURBALLS and PRETZELS. Sourballs were candies and pretzels were chocolate-coated sticks (not the ribbon-shaped bread you’re thinking). Both were packaged in a box, and just because they’re in a box, they were favorite Christmas gifts during school parties. Easy to wrap, but I would not want to receive!

Those yummy junkfoods, of course who doesn’t love those?! Btw, do you know that scramble has made a comeback and is now sold in foodcarts at malls? Super sarap pa rin lalo na yung milk powder on top. 🙂
