What are your Top 10 Pinoy Desserts/Sweets/Delicacies??? Cast your vote!!!

sum1

Now it’s time for the Top 10 Pinoy Desserts, Sweets and Delicacies. Following the poll on the Top 10 Pinoy Dishes that got so much attention and yielded such interesting results, I agree with several readers who suggested a poll on desserts and sweets. In my opinion, the Pinoy sweet tooth is highly developed. Whether the more “traditional desserts” based on rice, palm sugar and coconuts to the more Spanish influenced concoctions high in refined sugar, eggs and lard to the American influenced cakes, ice creams, etc., we as a nation have excelled at adopting, adapting, consuming and talking about desserts. So this is your chance to put in your vote for the Top 10 Pinoy Desserts. Please exclude fresh fruits by themselves (e.g. Mango) as I intend a future poll on fruits as well. Marketman wants to know if your Top 10 Desserts includes a silky leche flan, an aromatic budbud kabog, a sensuous buko pandan salad, or perhaps bucaio, bibingka or broas? Will you just go crazy if you are forever banned from fried saba bananas, banana-que, turon, consilva or maruya? Will you whine if you faced a life without halo-halo, guinomis, or mais con hielo? What about pichi-pichi, palitao, cuchinta, puto or sapin-sapin? Would you get crabby if you couldn’t make that salad of canned fruits swimming in canned cream? Will Brazo de Mercedes make your list or is sans rival and a Cebuano torta more to your liking? What about yemas, pastillas de leche or ube jaleya? Think hard and narrow it down to just 10! Please write in, and post your list. I am busy the next day or two so I will leave this post up for maximum exposure and hopefully I can coax about 100-150 readers to participate. Many thanks in advance!!!

    + Ube ice cream
    + pastillas de leche
    + yemas
    + sapin-sapin

    7) ginataang bilo-bilo
    8) guinomis – Via Mare style
    9) pastillas de leche
    10) puto-bumbong

    do we really have to confine it to 10???? MM, I’m sending you my Via Mare bill… I am salivating in my cubbyhole now. You’re risking the wrath of my personal trainor…. I’m not holding myself responsible for my weight gain. Get some soap and wash the pounds off your hands! ;)

  20. Hi MM,

    Hi MM! I discovered your website only last week (came across it while searching for links for taba ng talangka which I’ve been trying in vain to find)…I grew up in Cebu, spent summers in Bohol, went to college in Manila and trained in NYC, so I sure can identify with many of your posts…just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed browsing through your site. And your pix are awesome :)

    Anyway, here are my top ten dessert faves (can’t we cheat and list 20? heheh)

    buko pie
    otap
    turon
    torta
    piaya
    barquillos
    budbud/suman (any kind, whether cassava, from malagkit, chocolate moron etc)
    cuchinta
    bibingka
    cassava cake

    When we were kids, my lola also used to make cakes out of boiled saba/brown sugar which she would mash with a huge wooden mortar and pestle, then top with grated coconut and serve on banana leaves….but I don’t know what it’s called—that too was one my favorite merienda foods growing up :)

    And nope, I still haven’t found where to buy taba ng talangka (I’m now living in the Pacific Northwest). Does anyone know
    of any stores in the Seattle or Portland areas selling this?

  21. One of my fond memories of childhood is “minatamis weekend.” My father is very good when it comes to native dessert (bilo-bilo, palitao, etc), and kids were usually tasked (actually, we fought for our turn!) to crank the gilingan ng galapong, that heavy, heavy stone mill, which makes us, the kids, so tired and hungry afterwards. Funny thing though, rice-based native desserts are not my favorites.

    1. Leche flan (my mother makes wonderful leche flan—so smooth, silky, sweet, made fragrant with dayap, and no egg whites, please!)
    2. Pastillas de leche (especially if home-made; if not, pwede na yung galing sa San Miguel or Guiginto in Bulacan)
    3. Pichi-pichi
    4. Yema
    5. Buco pandan
    6. Ube
    7. Minatamis na kamias (the least of my favorites; I only like this because I’ve had so much fun helping my mom make this)

    Sorry, I can only give seven.

  22. 1.leche flan!
    2.halo halo
    3.sans rival
    4.sapin sapin
    5. minatamis na saging with ice and milk
    6. suman (balinghoy/cassava)
    7. kutsinta
    8.fruiy salad
    9. ube
    10. minatamis na macapuno

    would bibingka (one with the salted eggs) count as dessert?

  23. not really fond of (pinoy) desserts, but once in a rare while, when

    1. pili bars, but only by peachy yulo from magallanes
    2. leche flan but only by nina bustamante
    3. buko pandan but only by this girl in boracay who only makes on order from clients (including nina)

    4. dulce gatas but only if its made by a former yaya from bacolod and she does it only when she’s able to source really good carabao’s milk – and that’s once in a blue moon
    5. piyaya, but only if its made by bailon’s in bacolod

    are available, i go berserk, i forget im diabetic and indulge as if im about to breathe my last!

  24. Here are my favorite sweets: Tocino del cielo at least one day old, Guinataang bilo bilo at least one day old, Maja blanca with lime flavor, Sans rival, Chocolate cake with mousse filling, Espasol from Pampanga, Kutsinta, Mango Torte, Kalamay na Ube, and Suman sa Lihiya with lots of latik. I am very fond of your website. More power to you.

  25. hmm. am not sooo into sweets but here’s my list:

    1. thick, beaten tablea chocolate with churros.

    2. freshly cooked bibingka with itlog na pula. particularly the ones you get in via mare

    3. the fresh from the girdle piaya you get in the salcedo market. soft and flaky. also comes in ube flavor. its sooooo different from the “pasalubong quality” items you get in supermarkets.

    4. my friend’s mom’s leche flan. she’s a fine batanguena cook. and her flan has the ultra smooth consistency similar to yema AND creme brulee. fantastic. no air holes and doesn’t taste like scrambled eggs

    5. the ten peso (P10) halo-halo you get in the province. or the ones you get in chowking. razon’s is ok.

    6. STREET turon. there’s just something extra tasty about them. sometimes i melt a slice of cheese on top. pretty good. sweet salty

    7. banana que/camote que with considerable amounts of caramelized brown sugar. and the banana/camote has to be tender

    8. lily’s peanut butter and chocnut(tama ba spelling)

    9. puto bumbong. with loads of butter and sugar

    10. caramelized pili nuts. but only the ones with the thin coating.

  26. .Vargas brazo de mercedes
    .pastillas de leche [the soft, pudgy ones, not the hard sticks]
    .my grandmother’s leche flan
    .rosquillos
    .barquillos
    .puto from Bacolod with lots of butter
    .galletas from Bacolod
    .my mom’s mango supreme [mangoes cooked in butter, cinnamon and sugar]
    .Arce mantecado and coffee ice creams
    .silvanas from that house in San Lo
    .taho
    .sago with gata and panocha

  27. uhm. i’ll just squeeze in one extra thing:

    11. the ice buko you used to get in the streets. it’s all but a memory now. lots of long buko strips and munggo on top. now you only get the puny supermarket variety which tastes nothing like the original.

  28. Ahh this survey certainly coaxed me from lurker-mode :D

    Hooray to my first post!

    1. Ube Jam (Good Sheperd or Tantamco’s from Baguio)
    2. Leche Flan
    3. Banana-Que
    4. Polvoron (HOP or Goldilocks)

    7. Sans Rival of Sizzling Plate Baguio
    8. Ube Ice Cream
    9. Pichi-Pichi from Amber
    10. Maja Maiz

  29. My pinoy faves would be:

    Halo-halo
    Turon
    Puto Bungbong
    Guinataan Halo halo
    Palitaw
