Lady E Eats

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?

Baguio Adventures 2025: Good Shepherd Haul and a Review

The only things I buy from Good Shepherd are Ube and Strawberry Jam. The Strawberry Jam was out of stock and I saw these ube crinkles so I got them. My sister also asked me to buy Snowballs for her.

I got a few things (photo at the bottom of this post), but one of the standouts is this spaghetti pack from Chef Nic.
