The word “biscocho”, albeit prefixed by the venerable name of Vargas, seems entirely too mundane and prosaic for the most heavenly, burgeoning-with-butter experience ever to emanate from that ubiquitous plastic “garapon”. Might I humbly suggest they call it “BEST-COCHO” instead so that all may know the promise of things to come! Or how about “MA-MON DIEU! Tostado”?

Grace, I have to return to the Sunday market soon to try some of those chocolate delicacies you describe!

The Vargas butter cake is the absolute best in butter cakes but I have yet to try their biscocho. Also heard that they have sinful brazos de mercedes.
Tried the Pampanga ensaimada at the Salcedo market and it was good. But I found one that was better at the Legaspi market sold by Cocoa Loco. Their quezo de bola ensaimadas, made the old fashioned (Pampanga) way, were large, soft, moist, rich and oh so yummy. Comes with white or milk chocolate fondue. Tried their nutella ensaimada which was also delectable, a treat for chocoholics like myself.
Also tried their chocolate cheesecake and mud pies. Chocolate lovers heaven! The cheesecake was light and it came topped with a chocolate bar of my choice (Toblerone yum!). My daughter went for the mud pie and finished it off in no time.

But please please Marketman, tell us more about the old-fashioned ensaimada. Inquiring minds want to know.
