Isaw (Filipino Grilled Chicken Intestine)
When it comes to Filipino street food, Isaw - or grilled chicken intestine - is known to be among the famous ones you can get partly due to how cheap it is. The intestine is washed thoroughly before it is boiled in a vinegary-spicy mixture and skewered on bamboo sticks. It is then grilled on live coals until ready. Out on the streets, the Isaw is normally grilled right in front of the customer. Served with a spiced vinegar dip, Isaw is perfect for students on budgets or for those who are always on the go.
