Food makes travel extra special, In the Philippines our local treats bring warmth and flavor, to any journey from heritage Kakanin to beloved baked foods, Here are the sweets sometimes savory picks during my travel.
This buttery fluffy spiral bread full of cheese topings is staple in bakeries nationwide, the classic flavor is dusted with grated cheese and sugar, while others are salted eggs, ube and even chocolate flavors
Kakanin in delicious varieties such as ube flavor sapin sapin layered with coconut, soft brown rice cakes with coconut curd, and Maja Blanca With cor kernels and Biko with coconut curd also, that showcase our love for local Ingredients.
Made from grated cassava and coconut milk, with rich caramel topping, creamy, slightly firm and utterly addictive
Fun and Familiar Bakes
A banana cupcake topped with mini chocolate chips are a delightful Choice, but Pinoy treats offer so much more variety, many are finished with chocolate drizzles, caramel sauce, yema custard, fresh fruits , colorful sprinkles and or plum raisins while all these option are delicious, As for me I still prefer that highlights a natural vibrant flavor of fruits, letting ingredients like ripe mangoes, sweet banana and tangy pineapple take a center stage
Just like Pinoy Ensaymada, Donut comes with a wide range of delicious varieties, They are perfect for on the go munching during travels and are a favorite Pasalubong / gift from a trip among Filipinos.
