Found out about them when they were featured on Adobo Nation, a tv show. ?
I was delighted to find another source of sans rival and I went there this weekend and bought a slew of desserts. ?A 14pc variety pack of silvanas. ?They looked like macarons alright, really cool for gift giving. ?I haven't eaten all the flavors yet, but so far, my favorites are buco-pandan and peanut butter. ?I had 2 and it was super sweet, so definitely for someone with a sweet tooth. ?Also pretty air-filled, and I'm not used to that. ?
I also bought pinipig polvoron, food for the gods, frozen longanisa sausage, ensemada plain and chocolate flavored.. ?Had those last night and they were very good. ?Very air-filled though, just like the silvana. ?I think maybe the desserts are more air-filled to cut down on costs? ?Just guessing. ?I imagine it cuts down on calories too since there isn't as much inside, but when one's already having dessert, why not go all out.
All in all, excellent values all around. ?The food is distinctive enough, but still Filipino. ?An Americanized version, I guess, but still a good change for variety. ?Definitely excellent for gift giving. ?Very pretty packaging and overall presentation. ?Very clean store and good customer service.
