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!!!

Good luck!!!
In no particular order
+ Ube ice cream
+ pastillas de leche
+ yemas
+ sapin-sapin
+ bibingka
+ puto (the tiny ones or the ones made in Bacolod wrapped in pandan leaves I think. Both should be fresh, steamed, and topped with real butter)

+ halo-halo
+ guinataan
So many more that I would miss if I were exiled but the aforementioned would be missed the most.
1) ube – jam/ice cream;
2) buko pandan with ice cream;
3) saba with arnibal and shaved ice served with milk
4) halo-halo — only of Razon’s though
5) pianono – the corner panaderia kind that’s sugary and uses margarine which no one makes anymore —
6) suman ala Tita Paring’s complete with gooey latik or simple budbud kabog
7) ginataang bilo-bilo
8) guinomis – Via Mare style
9) pastillas de leche
10) puto-bumbong

This was set aside from the mungo that went into guinisang mungo which morphed from week to week according to the green garnish available. It came to the table always accompanied by escabeche that also changed weekly depending on the kind of fish. Otherwise, one of the following depending on mother’s budget or occasion:

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?
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.
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?
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!
I forgot to add leche flan!!!!
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.
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.
.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
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.
Ahh this survey certainly coaxed me from lurker-mode :D

I had a MUCH harder time than I did with your last survey narrowing this list down to just 10. Making myself delete any of the items from my original list of 20+ was like pulling teeth! ;-)
-Via Mare bibingka* w/ quezo de bola
-Via Mare puto bumbong* w/ panocha & quezo de bola
-White suman*
-Ube puto* from Putong Ube (the brand)
* all served warm, with LOTS of butter
-Pastillas de leche – the soft ones rolled in sugar
-Leche flan done our way (12 egg yolks, brown on top, lots of syrup)
-Any cake iced w/ mango buttercream
-Choc-nut, including everything flavored with it, like Choc-nut ice cream
-Sylvanas from Mary Ann Sagalbarria’s House of Sylvanas
-Polvoron – those with more milk than flour, enough butter so it’s not too powdery, preferably with pinipig
And, like with the last list, I’m gonna cheat and have an 11th entry: I removed Dulce Gatas from the Top 10 since I’ve only eaten it twice, but I LOVED it and want much, much more of it! Anyone from Bacolod want to send some over? ;-)

Hi MM! I’m one of the lurkers, but could not resist this one. I started reading your blog last March when I accidentally found the link while searching for a recipe at Google. I grew up in Bohol, studied in Cebu during college and is now in the US. I’m very happy to see that you have posted some entries about Bohol. Brought back childhood memories.

6. Piyaya (the very thin type, like Bailon’s)
