Why we should Support Street Food Vendors! The Diary Game 7-15-2024

Heyyy lovelies! It's your girl, misssj, here! 🎀 Let me share with you my amazing and heartfelt day supporting our local street food vendors in Biñan City, Laguna. 💖✨

The day kicked off bright and early. I slipped into my comfiest pair of shorts, my fave baggy tee, and of course, my trusty sandals. I knew it would be a day filled with yummy treats and plenty of walking. The weather was a bit gloomy, but hey, that never stops me! 🌤️

First up I headed to my fave spot where Ate Marites was already frying up a storm with her kwek-kwek (those deep-fried orange quail eggs that are totesss delish!!!). She greeted me with such a warm smile as I ordered my usual. We chatted about her day and how business was going. The vibe was so homey and welcoming it made me feel great supporting her little stand. 😋🥚

Next I wandered over to Manong Ricky who sells the best fishballs here at Bayan. I swear, his secret sauce is to die for! Standing there, munching on fishballs and people-watching, there's something so satisfying about street food. Vendors like Manong Ricky really bring life and flavor to our streets. 🐟🍢

As I continued, I noticed a new vendor. Curious, I went over and found a young couple selling fruit shakes. Their setup was the cutest, with colorful umbrellas and fresh fruits neatly displayed. I couldn’t resist a mango shake. It was sooo refreshing! I learned they had just started their business a month ago. Seeing young entrepreneurs chasing their dreams is inspiring. 🌈🥭

Supporting street food vendors isn't just about the food (though, let's be real, that’s a huge part of it). It's about community. These vendors are our neighbors and friends. They work hard every day to provide for their families and bring joy to ours. By buying from them, we're helping sustain their livelihoods and keep our local economy thriving. It’s a win-win! 🌟

After my little fruit shake adventure, I strolled further and found a bustling spot with several vendors lined up. It was like street food heaven! From grilled isaw (chicken intestines) to turon (banana spring rolls), there was something for everyone. I indulged in a bit of everything, feeling like a true food explorer. 🐔🍌

One thing I noticed throughout the day was the sense of community among the vendors. They were so supportive of each other, sharing smiles and even ingredients! It reminded me of the importance of solidarity and helping each other out. In a world that’s often so competitive, seeing people lift each other up is heartwarming. 🤝❤️

By the end of the day, my tummy was full, and my heart was even fuller. Supporting our local street food vendors is such a simple yet impactful way to give back to the community. Plus, it's a great excuse to enjoy some amazing food! So next time you're out and about, skip the fast food chains and head to your nearest street food vendor. Trust me, you won’t regret it! 😍

Alright, that’s all for today, loves! Thanks for reading about my day supporting our street food vendors in Biñan City. Remember, small actions can make a big difference. Keep spreading love and positivity! 💕

Till next time,
misssj ✨💖
