Hello MarketMan. Myra is my first cousin and I can attest to the fact that her Torta Cebuanas are to die for! It is indeed a tradition in our family to have this during Magsaysay gatherings. This has been one of my constant cravings since I moved overseas 10 years ago.

Thank you for featuring this on your blog. Our family is passionate about our food and we pride ourselves in being good cooks and chefs. I know that Myra puts her heart and soul in all her endeavors and she would only share the best.

* Hi MM! Your blog is getting to be a byword in the household so I took the liberty of surfing the net and olla, I’m finally here! Been working in Switzerland for the past 9 years now and I had the privilege to taste the sinfully delicious, Myra’s “special” tortas when I visited my hometown Cebu 9 years ago! I still have vivid memories of gobbling it all up and savoring its diced Hock Sio Ham on top, another local ham that is worth dying for and mind you, the authentic Quezo De Bola, Marca Pato, was sprinkled profusely as its toppings! I love Cebuano delicacies and crave Myra’s tortas endlessly. Thanks for posting her number coz when I go to Cebu for our coming family reunion this Sinulog, I will certainly have my fill of eating mountains & mountains of Myra’s tortas!

More power to you MM and to Myra Sun, my sincerest condolences for your late mom’s demise. She was the one and only society columnist in Cebu who knew how to write with class & style!

dannie, thanks. In the Visayas, tortas are sweet cakes, leavened with tuba, and made with lard traditionally. In the rest of the country torta can refer to an egg dish with meat or other ingredients. I have posts about both types in the archives.

We just ordered a box from Mrs. Sun yesterday and it was the first time I tasted torta so I’m not sure how it should taste like :) but my mom liked it and finished 2 in one sitting

Thank you MM! I was able to place an order for a box of 24 pieces earlier today. Best thing is that it would be delivered in the hotel on Sunday morning! Great!
Thanks again! :)
