Taho, a local snack made of silky tofu or bean curd with sago (mini tapioca pearls) and sweet caramelized sugar syrup, is an iconic and ubiquitous street hawker food that remains popular to this day. This popular comfort food traces its origins in Chinese influences, and has since become a mainstream favorite for generations. But catching a taho vendor on the road is a hit or miss thing, so its really comforting to know you can have this treat at Gloria Maris anytime you want it.
The bean curd is smooth and served hot. Very comforting and familiar, the Taho or Tau Hue served at Gloria Maris is a delicious treat that brings back so many memories.
One order (P110.00 or less than $3) is good for 2-3 servings. The Taho is served in a wooden tub, with small bowls containing the sago and sweet caramelized sugar syrup. The fun part is making your own bowl.

| You can also find more traditional Chinese selections at Gloria Maris. Tonight, I went for the Shrimp Dumpling Noodle Soup. Hearty and filling, nothing like a hot noodle soup. |
 |
| And yes,they do have a good dim sum selection as well, Here's the Kutchay (Garlic Chive) dumpling with minced pork and vegetables... |
 |
| ...the Bird's Eye Dumpling with Shrimp and Asparagus... |

| ...and the popular Prawn Dumpling. |
Good Chinese food and excellent value for money. Plus, they serve Taho anytime you feel like it. Now that's pretty cool.
