Hi there
I vote for Brazo de Mercedes. I live in Norway and can get versions of the other desserts in the list but not Brazo de Mercedes. I’ll have to make a second attempt.

Thank you,MM!

MM you did it again. thumbs up to you! im salivating as im typing. i cant wait to get home and stuff myself with these pinoy fave treats, one treat for each day. lets see, i’ll be in pinas for 30 possibly 42 days so i guess i will have to go over the reader’s entries and see which deserts didnt make it to the top 20. and as the poll came out, halo-halo would be the number one treat that i will be pigging out on from the first day back home.

Candsmd, no I haven’t had the opportunity to sample Ms. Sevilla’s desserts. I don’t get to Libis that often but will keep an eye out for these goodies when I do…many thanks for the tip!

Hi Marketman,
Have you tried Pixie Sevilla’s version of the Brazo de Mercedes? The filling is so DIFFERENT. None of that ‘eggy-malansa taste’. I can’t figure out what’s in it. Her Braze de Remedios are available at Forget Me Not cakes beneath the Hot Rocks steak outlet, near the Club Sixfifty sports center/club. This is the lot beside Shopwise in Libis. I was there last night, too bad they didn’t have it in stock but was happy with the Turtle Pie. I have also tasted her Princess cake many years ago, when her store was located in New Manila. Please try the Brazo de Remedios and let me know :-)

I noticed only 2 entries for carioca were mentioned. Maybe it has another name, (deep fried sweet rice balls, skewered on a stick, and drizzled with carmelized sugar syrup)? It’s one of my all time favorites. Is it because it’s not native to PI, since I’ve only had it in the States?

Several of these desserts are “imported” and adopted…leche flan is brought in, sans rival,pastillas, yema and arguably, even halo halo is not totally “native”…

sorry if I sound innocent, but I really didn’t know that sans rival is a filipino dessert. . . and I think I forgot Brazo in my top ten as it is one of my favorites. . .hehe
