I want to be in a food business. I like preparing foods and tasting them. Right now we use Facebook and SMS or text to sell our meat products. We make meatloafs and longganisa and spring rolls. What other food products can we sell? Do you have other food business ideas?

My cousin has a new business now in front of my Pinas house. She cooked food for breakfast and lunch and people come to buy, fried chicken like chicken joy, Lumpia, pansit, veggies cooked in coconut oil, escabetse and more. Around 2 pm, her food are sold and she has free time for herself. It seems it is a good business for her.

@thelme55 its a kind of a cross between a small meat loaf and the fish ball sold and peddeled on streets but has a stronger smell than fishball or meat loaf but like fish ball its also an ingredient in some " pancit" or chinese noodles, it has that rubbery consistency also similar to fishball. The guy who sells fishball in our place also peddles kiam at times.

@averygirl72 In none of the European countries you can do this, but it's particularly strict here in Switzerland.

Yeah... i think roadside shops are best...the rent is very low and the working hours can also be adjusted according to our convenience...and the profit will also be quite good...

@averygirl72 i cook the simplest Ilocano dishes of vegetables. i don't cook those very sophisticated meals, or meatballs and langgonisa as you mentioned. besides, i feel that cooking drains my energy.

I like this business very much. Here people earn money a lot. doing this business. They prepare SAMOSA both vegetarian and non-vegetarian and supply to various restaurants. Do you know or heard about SAMOSA?

@thelme55 Supplying Empanada to the in-and-around restaurants is a profitable business I think.

Samosa is delicious. It is called Empanada in the Philippines but the taste is different @shivamani10 .
