Filipino Desserts

[Isleño]

It's definitely true that Filipinos tend to be fatter than other Asians for sure. On the plus side though, Filipinas tend to have much PHatter asses than East Asians. LOL

Oh yes, I know about the phatter asses first hand I used to live in Hawaii in Kalihi Valley, lots of phat little Filipino asses running around there

I'm looking at these Filipino desserts.....that's a whole lot of Spanish/Latin American influence in them. Turrón and dulce de leche.... I saw one was brazo de something I can't remember, but we have brazo de Gitano. Lots and lots of Spanish/Latin American influence in these desserts.

I got some good Spanish Turrón in my cabinet right now as we speak

Shoots, where did you live in Oahu? I lived in Kalihi Uka (Kalihi Valley up the mountain by the Like Like) and I also lived in Makiki. I have some family that moved there, some of them live in Kailua and Kaneohe and one lives in Pearl City. I love Oahu, wish I was back there. Aloha mah braddah!

You haven't even begun to see the strange sorts of desserts mwahahahaha.

See this glowing neon green thingamajig? That's Durian Pancake!


See this melange of assorted fruit? It's a Pinapple Upside-down cake!


See that white wiggly thingy inside that cake? That's a Macapuno roll.


I particularly like these ones:

Dayum I love that.

Speaking of purplish stuff. I love eating Dragonfruit.



You can make Jelly out of it.



Or turn it into Hopia (Mooncakes)

Hopia




Piyaya



Biscocho



Bibingka



There's so much. Gosh if the Japanese have so much to offer in terms of Sushi, we porbably have the most well-developed Pastry palate among the Asian cuisines.

Some of which are not attributable to the Hispanics or Westerners (Bisocho was invented in Iloilo, Sans Rival in Bacolod, Hopia in Tondo, Bibingka in Manila, they are Filipino inventions not found anywhere else)
