Buttery Bites of Butterscotch From the Philippines
There are some things that I must have if someone is giving me a “pasalubong” or souvenir from the Philippines. Food goodies are always great to receive, but my all time favorite pasalubong has to be Butterscotches. Rose first got me addicted to these little chunks of buttery bites when her father came back from his vacation to the Philippines. I still remember peeling off the wrap of my first one and taking that first bite. Let me tell you that it was one rich and buttery morsel.
Butterscotches are mini cakes topped with small chunks of peanuts sealed in colorful plastic wrap. Every province in the Philippines has their own twist to Butterscotch. The ones that I sampled were from Bacolod.
This is only one of the few updates we have featuring food from the Philippines. With Rose back from her trip, there is so much we want to share.
This looks delicious. Do you have a recipe for people to make at home?
Unfortunately, I don’t have one. I’ll ask some of my family to see if they know how to make it.
I’ve never seen these before. I wish Filipino food would get the due that all the other Asian cuisines out there seem to have received. I feel as if Filipino food is the last, undiscovered one. I hope more people get to know it better.
Searching cyberspace for the recipe :) please help. ….
