Filipinos love snacks. In between main meals, we find time to munch on merienda! Some of us even sneak one more at midnight. Here are some easy-to-prepare merienda recipes that we found on YouTube. Some may be new to you, others may be familiar. Enjoy browsing and control your drooling!
WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?
Homemade Taho
Missing your taho fix? Although we usually eat taho (soybean curd) in the morning, we can also have it as merienda. We get our taho from street peddlers or buy it from convenience stores. But during the quarantine period, we can’t help but miss it, right? Crave no more! We can actually make one in the comfort of our homes. Kusina ni Lola shares her homemade taho recipe using soy milk (unsweetened), unflavored gelatin, mini sago (tapioca), brown sugar, and pandan flavor (optional).
Potato Mojos
For mojo lovers out there, Chef Edward created his version of Shakey’s mojos. He only used potatoes, eggs, instant fried chicken breading, pepper, and salt (optional). He also prepared his own ranch dip out of mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, atchara juice (or pickle juice), and chives.
Egg Toast
Honeysuckle delights us with this recipe using a few simple ingredients such as egg, bread slices, cheese, sugar, and butter. The recipe is very flexible; instead of using sugar, you can incorporate other ingredients like strawberry jam, blueberry jam, and others that fit your preference. The same for cheese; instead of cheddar, you can use cream cheese or you may also take out the cheese if you are not a fan of it.

Want to cool down by eating ice cream but you forgot to buy one? No worries! Jho Faith reveals that you can create your own mango ice cream at home using three ingredients: mango, condensed milk (168ml), and all-purpose cream (500ml or 2x 250 ml). She advised putting the all-purpose cream in the freezer for 2 hours or in the chiller overnight.
