Streetfood in the Phils

Cebu City - Today, we are seeing a lot of TikTok videos going viral of what is known as Indian street food cooking. This type of cooking is popularly known for using bare hands. Sometimes we question how safe it is and its sanitary value, but people sometimes disregard how clean it is because of its popularity. In the Philippines, we also have similar questions on how safe the street foods here are, from the tempuras to kwek kwek and its sauces. The question lingers: Is street food safe and hygienically prepared, or are we just buying them because of its appeal, taste, and popularity.
