Philippine Street Foods: Chicken Proven

Philippine Street Foods, Cebu Food Blog, Cebu Best Food Blog, Street Food, Cebu Street Foods, Chicken Proven, Proben, Proventriculus,

 I love street food.  I have been eating it since I was in elementary school.  From fishballs to peanuts to pungko-pungko.  One of the newest street food favorites is the Proben or Chicken Proven.  This fried chicken part is one of my favorite snacks when I was still working at Robinsons Cybergate and I would love to eat it when I get the chance. Have you tried this one?




Chicken Proven


Chicken Proven is made of the proventriculus of a chicken.  The proventriculus is part of a bird's digestive system and the organ is connected to the gizzard. To make the chicken proven, this part is dipped in a batter then deep fried to a crisp. The end result is a sinfully good chicken nuggets that have a similar texture to fried gizzard and a taste like crunchy chicken skin. We usually pour some sauce or vinegar before enjoying it with some hanging rice or what we call puso locally.  A serving is around 20 pesos.

Chicken Proven is not a Cebu original.  I think this street food just emerged in this decade in the Queen City of South.  Chicken Proven or Proben is actually very popular in Cagayan de Oro City.  It has spread around the country to as far as Luzon.  In Cebu, I can see several Proben stalls and a lot of people love it.  Some popular spots here for proben would be near Cebu Doctor's Hospital, near Chong Hua Hospital, and near Sykes Building in F. Cabahug Street.

When I eat Chicken Proven, I usually finish a couple of servings with around 3-4 pieces of puso.  I normally finish my meal with some soft drinks.  Usually, I eat it for snacks but when I am trying to save up, the meal serves as my lunch.  As an eating tip, I advise you get the proben that just came off the frying pan.

Pungko Pungko - Cebuano Foodie Must-try

Image
You cannot say you are a Cebuano foodie until you partake and enjoy the offerings of your local Pungko-Pungko stall. Pungko means squat in the Cebuano language.  The Pungko-Pungko name was attached to vendors who walk to sell food and when they find interested eaters they usually look for a clean corner and squat or "pungko" to eat.  Now, most Pungko-Pungko suki do not need to look for their favorite vendor because there are now in many places in the city that are known for this type of "cuisine".  The popular hotspots for pungko-pungko are the stalls in the Fuente area at the back of Sampaguita Suites, Redemptorist Church Area near Foodarama, and Cebu Doctor's University area beside McDonald's.
