This is what you basically see on the sides of the street at around 4:00 pm and onwards not only in the metro but even in the provinces.  This is usually up until midnight as long as you still offer the tasty grilled stuffs such as pork barbecue, chicken barbecue, the common ‘isaw’ or grilled intestines, pig ears, pork  blood and the likes.  To offer variety and reach a wider market, one can have fish balls, kikiams, squid balls, chicken balls, even hotdogs, cheese sticks and ‘kwek-kwek’ or the shelled boiled eggs both for the younger and older market alike. Different kinds of drinks or beverages can also be made available to complete the meal. A simple stall to keep all of these choices in one setting is all you need to provide this quick and complete meal to one busy bee or to just anybody who will stop over to fill up his or her stomach.
