Lady E Eats

My sister went to Baguio, Ifugao, etc. last week. She brought home a bunch of goodies including this: It’s supposed to be a cheese bread but it’s filled with walnuts and dried fruit. It’s like a fruit cake inside. I didn’t like this. I like sweet and savory but this was just terrible. I like dried fruits as my grandma makes a mean fruitcake and she uses the same ingredients. I just didn’t appreciate this. It really tasted weird for me. The filling just does not go with the bread.

Momilo Mio Cheese Pie: Sweet, Salty, and Simply Luxe

On our way back from Baguio, we stopped by a Shell Select for coffee for our driver and my family. I don't drink coffee, so my son and I perused the aisles for interesting finds. This is something I like doing in convenience stores, rest stops, groceries, and supermarkets. When I first saw the box, I already felt this wasn’t your typical neighborhood bakery cheese pie. The packaging alone—clean white, elegant gold accents, and that little window showing the golden top—makes it look like something you’d proudly bring to a family gathering or gift to a friend. A First Taste We got home around 1 am, if I remember correctly. My son and I were hungry and the simplest thing to prepare is instant ramen.

The pie itself is very thin—almost like a butter cake, but denser, richer. When I sliced th...

Pasalubong - noun. Homecoming gift. Two pasalubong classics. Two different cities. One sweet verdict. Baguio and Tagaytay each have their own crinkle pride—Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe ube crinkles that I got from Good Shepherd (Baguio) and Amira’s chocolate crinkles (Tagaytay) . At first glance, they couldn’t be more different: one’s a delicate purple bite, the other a deep cocoa round. But do they both deliver on taste? Good Shepherd Ube Crinkles Technically, I got this from Good Shepherd, but the brand on the packaging says Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe. Pretty on the outside, but the first bite was a letdown. The sweetness is overwhelming, and the strong coconut milk flavor overpowers the ube. It’s too rich, leaving little room for the gentle, earthy notes we expect from a true ube treat. For us, it felt more like a coconut candy in disguise than a balanced ube crinkle. I had a hard time finishing one. I tried to finish it because I was ...
