Pastel is the pasalubong for Camiguin's visitors, much like every destination in the Philippines has one. (To Filipinos, bringing home something bought from a travel or vacation to family and friends is part of Filipino culture called pasalubong and is the reason why it's so easy to spot Filipinos in airports-- too much baggage mostly pasalubong stuff!)
Pastel is available in cheese, langka, macapuno, mango, Pineapple and made-to-order durian, guava, strawberry, chocolate, and special yema

ang favorite kong pasalubong ay pastillas de leche at yung jumbo type ng cornik, i think popcorn din tawag dun.
ReplyDeletemmm, nakita ko nga yang pastel sa shopwise. masubukan na nga next time i go there. =)
My pasalubong to friends: Pili nuts from Bicol!
ReplyDeleteBut those Pastels look good!
Are these the soft breads that seem to melt in your mouth. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the peanuts from Iligan.
I love those Pastels too. My father buys them whenever he visits Cagayan De Oro (yup, they're sold there too). I just don't like those Durian variants.
ReplyDeletemasarap yung chocolate flavor =)may vjandep pastel sa SM.. SM davao hehehe =P another heart-stopping (literally) pasalubong from cagayan de oro is sler's chicharon. for me, better than the famous chicharon of carcar (cebu). favorites? marami.. bagnet ng ilocos, marang ng cotabato, bongbong's broas from negros, at seafoods from gensan, to name a few. halatang matakaw! masarap talaga mamasyal sa Pilipinas kasi bawat lugar, may kanya kanyang produkto. hindi lang mata ang busog, pati tiyan.
ReplyDeletecarlotta, pastillas of bulacan is the best for me so far. chichacorn of ilocos?
ReplyDeletesidney, pili is really synonymous with bicol. good thing it's not tapang butanding :P
abaniko, the original flavor has yema that melts in your mouth :P
tani, the first time i saw them was in CDO, yes. durian aversion, heh?
miss.adventures, travel and food tripping goes hand in hand. hope to feature more of them here in the future
my favorite pasalubong from the philippines is dried squid even though my husband and children think it smells horrible. i would just lit up some candles to help absorb the smell in the house. sarap kasing isawsaw sa sukang may labuyo.
ReplyDeletebelle, dried squid does stink but tastes heavenly. love it also dipped in vinegar with chilies
ReplyDeletemy choice of pasalubongs are pastillas and peanut brittles.
ReplyDeletewow here? in manila? how is it compared to those bought in camiguin? or is it just the same? i super lurve these pastel pastries. i can finish a 6 pc box :-)
ReplyDeletephoto cache, sweet tooth you got there :)
ReplyDeletebanggigay, it's the same pastel you originally thought only available in camiguin and CDO, but slightly more expensive syempre
