I was scrolling and watching some videos in Tiktok earlier when I came up to a video of a woman, I think she's an Indian, preparing a pizza for the customers. It's just awesome how she filled the pizza with lots of cheese, (Philippines, ano na? Charr). Because of that video, it reminds me of those days of my primary and secondary school where we love to buy different foods outside the campus. Our school wants to offer healthy foods to students which we don't like, since the foods that they have doesn't attract our interest, always biscuits and bread with the same flavor, so we prefer to buy outside and hide it in our bag.

For today, I want to share what are those common foods that we have outside the campus before, by the way I'm getting hungry and craving for these foods while writing. lol! So here I go.

Ice Scramble

Ice cream, ice candy and ice drop are not common in our school, so when this ice scramble came into our school life, it makes us feels so happy and classy because usually only private schools have this. This only cost 5 php ($0.10), and by that we can have all the toppings; marshmallow, sprinkles, chocolate kisses, milk, strawberry syrup and chocolate syrup. During recess time, I cannot buy this one due to many students and too crowded to buy, because of that, me and my friends prefer to buy this during dismissal.

Green Mangoes

Most customers of green mangoes are girls, of course we really love it. We can have it with soy sauce, vinegar and salt, but this is more perfect with salt mixed with crushed chili. Aside from this is the sweet "alamang", oh my perfect!

Filipino Street Foods

I'm just thankful that we have these outside our campus because I'm really fan of eating street foods. Before, I don't like kwek-kwek(not included in the photo) because I don't like the taste of boiled egg, but because of it's sauce, it became extremely delicious, it makes our tummy full in just 5-10 php.

Waffles

We have two choices for waffles; one is waffles with margarine and sugar, while the other one is waffles with cheese and hotdog. I like both, I buy depends on my cravings, I usually pick foods base on what I want to eat at the moment.

Popcorn

Popcorn with sweet cheese is one of my favorite. This is one of the food outside the campus that always sold out as early in the morning, not yet recess time but no more left. So what we like to do is, to go to the seller early in the morning and take our reservation. One of my bestfriend sell popcorn inside our classroom, and just like what I've said always sold-out.

Pizza

This is not the typical classy pizza that we have outside the campus, just like what you can see in the photo. The seller outside only use a dough, and for the toppings; ketsup, onion, cheese, and corn beef. But, let me tell you, although the ingredients are too ordinary and few but the taste is so delicious. Still 5 php per slice.

Lumpia

We call the seller of Lumpia, "Ante Lumpia" or Aunt Lumpia. We don't know her name but she became popular because of her delicious tuna lumpia. She always start to sell every lunch time and most students only bring rice and buy lumpia as viand. It's always sold out and sometimes, she cook twice a day just because of the student's requests.
