Isaw is barbequed marinated chicken intentines. Please don't squirm yet. Dugo is barbequed hardened chicken blood. Don't yuck-yuck there! In fact I only discovered lately that it is blood. I disregarded it before because I thought it was pork liver (see above photo), and therefore more expensive. The raw material may not come from the malls, but they sure attract a lot of avid foodies inside our subdivision. Students buy and nibble some on their way home. While many office workers who come home late buy a few as their viand for the evening.
The isaw stand comes to life late afternoon when students are just coming home from school and when the grown-ups are about to grab some ice-cold beer, or for the financially-challenged, to utang a lapad from the nearby sari-sari store. Indeed, the stand is supposed to sprout where a beerhouse thrives. Sarap daw talagang pulutan. At 2 pesos a stick, how can you complain?
My kids love isaw. While many tambay-types are crazy about dugo.
When you buy, you select which sticks you wanted, and the vendor will grill them for you. Once your orders are ready, you inform the vendor which sauce you prefer - the sweet one or the hot one. The vendor will then brush the desired sauce over the steaming hot and mouth-watering chicken whatever. You then have an option to eat your isaw/dugo straight from the stick, or you insert it in between slices of bread to have a tasty sandwich.
Now ask: Is there any part of the chicken which is not sold or eaten?
Ti may isaw man kag dugo barbeque sa abroad? Waay gid haay. @
