When is taho eaten?
Taho is usually eaten as a light breakfast or as a sweet afternoon snack. It is enjoyed in the Philippines year round.
Taho is served in tiny snack sized portions. It’s usually served in a small 5 to 8 oz cups.
Silken tofu is rather low in fat with a small amount of protein. However, taho is technically a dessert because it’s full of sugar. Sugar from the simple syrup and the sugars from the tapioca balls. Sometimes i can finish up to 5 to 9 cups everyday because its delicious and its affordable that everyone can also buy it
