Tahô vendors peddle their product in a distinctive manner, walking at a leisurely pace on the sidewalk or shoulder of the road.

Some customers in residential areas tend to use their own cups, and the vendors price their product accordingly (usually at around twenty Philippine pesos, or US$0.42 for a standard-sized mug).

Then, using a long, thin metal ladle with a tiny bowl, they scoop sago or tapioca pearls and arnibal into the cup, loosely mixing it in.

Though traditionally served warm, cold varieties exist in supermarkets and food stalls in cafeterias with bean curd in a solid, unbroken state.

These pre-packed cups, sold with a plastic spoon or wooden ice pop stick, tend to contain firmer tofu.
