Choco Polvoron


Cornelius gave us this Goldilock Polvoron, handcarried here by his aunt. Polvoron is a popular Filipino dessert. It's a horlicks-taste floury sweet. Quite nice!

Filipino cuisine is something i haven't quite accustomed too. The desserts are too sweet for my tastebuds. The deep-fried intestines and pork knuckles (crispy pata) are not as good - I prefer the german crackling pock knuckles. Even the beer (san muguel) is nowhere compared to German beer (eg erdinger).

And no, i'm not going to try that famous Filipino delicacy, Balut : a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. Horror of horrors! :P
