We were walking along
the downtown in Tacloban City, Leyte when I took noticed of the tahong crackers
display among the wide array of food pasalubong. I got curious about its taste and so I bought
a small pack just to taste it.
The province of Samar
is noted for its abundant produce of tahong.
Since there’s not that much demand for tahong in the province and the
neighboring provinces, some local entrepreneurs ventured into tahong crackers
manufacturing.
The ingredients of
tahong crackers are tahong meat, flour, salt, sugar, chili, cooking oil, and
black pepper. Its texture is somewhat
smooth but there are evident small bubbles on the surface. The thickness is acceptable and its
crunchiness can be equaled with commercially known crackers. There is no particular size or shape of the
cracker. Unlike the commercially
available crackers that have their own distinct taste, this one is a bit
conservative. Actually, if not for its
label, one will not be able to figure out that it is made of tahong.
