What’s your favorite homemade childhood sweet? I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but I like eating homemade desserts and sweets. My grandmother would make polvoron, yema, pastillas and other desserts that the whole family can enjoy. Christmases and birthdays are favorite affairs to whip up these desserts.
Fast forward to the future where everything is fast paced, we no longer have the luxury of making these sweets at home instead, we just buy them from commercial bake shops. But if you’re like me, nothing beats homemade desserts. It just doesn’t taste the same.
The Emporium stays true to that ideal. Homemade desserts such as polvoron and pastillas are freshly made when you order. These sweets are very addictive and customers swear that a dozen polvoron and pastillas is just not enough. You have to order more!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Pinoy childhood delicacy/dessert is barquiron. There's just something about the crunchy roll and finding a powdery surprise inside.

3. My favorite childhood dessert would be pastillas de leche. When I was a kid, I remember striking it rich when my mom gave me 30 pesos in 2-peso bank-fresh denominations for my birthday. One pastillas was 25c that time. I spent my riches buying all the pastillas from the local sari-sari store. I was the happiest birthday girl that day :3

3. What’s your favorite childhood dessert? - My favorite childhood dessert was Leche Plan. I literally grew up used to eating it after dinner. It was kinda expensive, and I always kulit my mom into buying one. I've tasted ALOT different variations of the said dessert from different restaurants and stores that I can tell by the texture and the way it was prepared, if it was poorly made or wasn't done right.

3. My favorite childhood dessert would be Leche Plan. It was always served back then after dinner and I love it alot. It was kinda expensive (for me as a kid that only had a P10 allowance) so I would always kulit my mom into buying one for me. I have tasted alot of different variations of the said dessert from restaurants, etc. that I can tell if it wasn't well-prepared and stuff just by the texture and how syrupy it is.

ReplyDeleteHey Esther, how about you open yourself a restaurant, with the recipes you have here, I can see potential in you, " Chef in the making".
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous! I would love to do that but I don't have formal training in cooking. But also because of that, my food is not commercialized. it's still close to home. My friend and I are thinking of putting up a catering biz in the very near future. You obviously know me. So, can I have your name?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest you don't need to have a formal training you just have to know the right people to help you for your goal and time will come it will be realized.... If you're committed and have faith of yourself, nothings is impossible for you... Believe me I know.....
