fishballs

Jump to Comments

I’m craving for fishballs at the moment, I don’t know why! Maybe because it’s so nice and warm outside, and I’m in a reminiscing mood. When I was a kid summertime meant playing basketball, “ins”, and convincing my cousin to let me drive his “trisikad” with my neighboring friends. I almost always don’t get to since he uses it to make money on the side for his short-distance transport business. At times I could sweet talk him by letting me drive it for him. And the money I make from him I always blow it off by buying Coke, & fishballs. As much as my parents prohibiting me of buying food from street vendors because of their concern of hepatitis, typhoid( w/c I had when I was 4 ), and stuff, it still didn’t stop me from buying it. Um, um! Nothing like a deep fried fishball dipped in sweet sauce! For years I wasn’t able to eat it, eventhough they now sell it in some Asian grocery stores found in the frozen section, until last September when I got the chance to visit my hometown for my old school’s foundation day. I was waiting for my friends right outside the school’s entrance when at the distance I saw this man setting up his cart..

Aaay! I felt like I hit the jackpot upon seeing it. As soon as everyone arrived I treated them to sticks after sticks of fishballs.

I would have eaten more, but the program was about to start. I’ll have to learn how to make it on my own.
