Just like fish balls, isaw is one of the most well known Filipino street foods. I was exposed to it as much growing up, many people like me say it was a legendary street food at every universities here in philippines. I read that students from all social classes would line up for their isaw at the many streetside grilleries near campus.
Isaw refers to barbecued chicken or pig intestines that are thoroughly cleaned before being skewered, boiled and grilled. Pictured below on the left is the pork isaw while to its right is the chicken. Like the other grilled skewered dishes on this list, isaw is typically served with a spiced vinegar dip.
Like walkman, Filipinos have funny colloquial names for pork and chicken isaw as well. Chicken isaw is also referred to as “I.U.D.” because it’s said to resemble older designs of intra uterine devices. Pork isaw is called “mag wheels” because it looks like…well, mag wheels!
