Spicy Peanut Explosion
Sili and garlic got me buying peanuts again.
Notice the spicy peanut explosion around Manila? From garlic peanuts, we now have peanuts with siling labuyo. Brings us closer to our Southeast Asian street food neighbors, no? I'm waiting for all the underutilized and forgotten Filipino herbs to begin cropping up again in the mainstream.
A vendor has many kinds and sizes of peanuts, along UN Avenue.
