Amidst all the specialty donut shops in Manila, we still couldn’t resist these donuts fried and sugared in the street, courtesy of the bakery in our barangay.
When we can’t think of what to eat for merienda (afternoon snack), all we have to do is walk towards the bakery around 3pm. You’ll see these small donuts lined up like soldiers and waiting for their turn to dive into the frying pan with hot oil.
That’s what I like about these donuts, they live nearby..LOL! The second thing that I like about them is they’re very cheap! They’re being sold for ₱2 each and there are three flavors to choose from: plain, cheese, and monggo (green mung beans).
I used to be crazy about street food — well, I still am — but I used to be crazy enough about them that I started featuring all the street food I see and those that pass by in front of our house way back in 2009 and 2010. Check out the list of Filipino Street Food I blogged about. I just got so fond of them and I thought they deserved a special place here at The Peach Kitchen.
I was also doing some bloghopping, checking out blogs of people who blog about other countries’ street food!
The vendors usually think I’m crazy when I take pictures of their stand or cart. So when they ask why I’m doing that, I always tell them it’s for my daughter’s school project. It saves me the time of explaining to them that I blog about it and what’s a blog.
Now I’m wondering why I stopped blogging about these cool street food? Maybe I already blogged about most of them but I’m gonna start featuring them again. Maybe they’ve updated. Who knows? There might be a Tukneneng version 4.0…LOL!
And check out these freshly fried donuts, gently rolled in sugar!
My favorite is the cheese and the monggo. Ykaie loves the plain one. Sis loves them all.

Then you should look for this the next time you come home.
It seemed that you are an avid fan of street donut. But I’m not really fond of it because I got conscious too much with the sugar. hehehe
Then You should just ask the vendor not to add sugar. 🙂
I think this donuts have less calories than commercialized donuts because it has less sweets and glacings.
That’s true! and it has healthy flavors too like monggo.
OMG!!! love ko ito!! bawal na sa akin kasi may sugar issues ako.. pero i miss eating this
Apir tayo! Love ko din tong donut na to.
I like the way you cook the doughnuts and with sugar, margarine only.
I didn’t cook this. It’s sold on the streets.
Looks good! Reminds me of the donuts that we used to buy at Rustan’s Baker’s Kingdom from way back. Yum!
It looks and taste good,kathy!
These donuts serve as very good snacks in the streets especially when one is hungry. Sweet, soft and savory!
It’s cheap too!
Wow, we should try something like this next time – a different taste from the usual is always a good experience too.
Yup. Buy a donut like this the next time you see one on the streets.
Your photos of street food donuts brings some good memories of my childhood days. My grandma used to cook this of snacks. I still prefer this food compare to over hype and diabetis inducing donuts in the market. hahaha.
that’s one unique doughnuts there. plus affordable.
True! delicious too!
i love those! my husband cooked them sometime haha it is indeed yummy! best with vanilla milkshake
I should try pairing this with milkshake! LOL!
I know how to cook this, my mom teach me the easy way to cook homemade doughnut. Problem is I am lazy making the dough.
Can you share the recipe with me?
I am also seeing this street donuts in our place- what good abou this is that you will see how they are cooked and they are put in a paper bag while hot.
Ohhh I miss this! I remember when I was a kid we have a “suki” who always passes by our street during merienda time.
🙂 Do you still buy this ?
WOW!!! that was so delicious and mouth watering. I wonder if I can make this one.
Of course, you can, It’s very easy to make lang naman.
I think the bakery in our old house in Sampaloc, Manila where we used to live has these too! And i miss having them.
This is one of the most memorable street foods for me! growing up, ehto talaga ang favorite ko! kasama ang taho at fishball! It also shows the ingenuity of Pinoys!
Same here Micole! This donut kasi has a very unique texture.
