Foodie on a quest to scout out the most fulfilling desserts that hit just right on the sweet tooth? Here’s our list of local, must-try desserts that you might want to also consider when planning on where to go next.

Briquito Silvanas

Cebu

Briquito just leveled up the game with it’s reinvention of the classic recipe into trendy flavors like Matcha Cookies & Cream and Mango Float. Served on a stick so you can take this indulgent goodness with you en route to the next item on your itinerary.

Carreon’s Plantanillas

Pampanga

A Kapampangan delicacy that you’d be hesitant to put down despite it being primarily composed of sugar. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s a guilty pleasure treat of pastillas wrapped in an egg yolk crepe. A treat that’s satisfyingly good that we won't mind the necessary visit to the gym that follows after.

JD Bakeshop’s Revel Bar

Iloilo

Deviate from your standard fudge brownie and try this nutty and chocolate-y revel bar, a fudgy chocolate filling sandwiched between two oat bars, from an established and well-loved pasalubong haunt, with loyal patrons who dig this chewy goodness.

Ka Idro’s Bakery Pianono

Batangas

Because the best way to enjoy your steaming cup of kapeng barako is with a slice of soft and sugary pianono! Rolled sponge cake filled with cream that can be enjoyed any time of day, a generations old recipe from this modest bakery that’s a definite drop by for some pasalubong.

Noki Nocs’ Halo - Halo

Puerto Princesa

What to do next after landing in Puerto Princesa International Airport? Cross the street to Noki Nocs Savory House and grab a parfait glass filled with the “Best Halo-Halo in town”, as hailed by patrons. A strikingly luscious medley of smooth, shaved ice and creamy milk, a perfect way to cool down on a hot day.
