I know that there are so many good pies out there! hehe,true! but i still love eating buko pie=) If your wondering why is it such a big deal for many Filipinos, its simply because we're Filipinos! haha^^ Filipino cooking is well known for it's simplicity^^ We love simple food=) well, for me, to enjoy food, it doesn’t mean that it has to have strong flavor.

More likelly you are a new visitor to the blog and haven't even begun to explore the 2,100+ posts in the archives, several of which address the simplest of Philippine desserts with more care than most people on foodblogs have ever done. From rice based ones, to cassava to egg based desserts. So for you to conclude a disdain is silly at best, uninformed and dumb at worst. I personally am not fond of buco pie as it lacks a distinctive oomph for me, and many commercial versions are not particularly appealing either. I could list dozens of other "simpler" Filipino desserts I would make for homesick pinoys. Brian, I am not sure where you picked up my “disdain” for a “simple filipino dessert.

However, I suppose the people who truly appreciate this simple dessert are those filipinos that are away from home for a while and just long for ANYTHING that reminds them of authentic home cooking/baking. I bake several of these pies at every occasion and all my wife's filipino friends devour it very quickly. As an American, I enjoy Buco pie and my favorite is made by National Bakery in Cavite, Manila. Your disdain for a simple filipino dessert is curious.
