Kooky treats
Since I moved to a new organization, I am now into becoming accustomed to yummy treats being distributed here and there when someone becomes a daddy (first photo: chocolates shared with us with a very nice baby boy-themed packaging), healed from an illness (second photo: someone showered us Patchi chocolates when she returned from a sick leave), and many other reasons (third photo: I forgot for which reason the rose petals ala-candies were shared with us. But I did not forget that it was oddly delicious. My first time to consume rose in a petal form. I remember I had a rose lassi in 2007 from an Indian restaurant in the Philippines. The extract of course tasted like rose.)
So far, the kookiest packaging I saw was for the pieces of bread stuffed inside a huge shelly shaped bread. Now I am thinking if I should also share things like these and when? And when the situation comes, I think I want to make a difference. Maybe I should distribute something with durian, balut, penoy, etc. It is either they would be amused or dislike me. Suggestions are welcome.
LOL, I dunno if they can appreciate balot, durian, etc. It may be odd to their tastes or if it’s too smelly, would be disgusted, LOL! No offense to Filo products, they taste good but maybe you should try giving out Chocolatey stuff, always works.
I agree about Pinoys having too many smelly food/dishes (pero masarap!), I remember an officemate commented that tuyo smells like a dead rat. Anyway, I am thinking of a durian cheesecake. I tried it in Davao and it’s delicious but not smelly. But I have yet to research how to make one.
hahaha go. give them our exotic food. pero balut would be great.
how about those milk pastillas? i love those. i think the balot would scare anyone who’s not used to the idea of a baby chick inside…lol.

Agree with Kayni. Pastillas are yummy. Better stock up with pinoy goodies if you plan on distributing them =)

Hello everyone! Thanks for the recos. Balut is now out of the options.
where in laguna are you from? you’re welcome to my town, just let me know.
btw, i remember tasting the rose lassi in Mumbai…didn’t drink much though
From Siniloan and Pangil.
How about the bottle tuyo na sobrang sarap at paborito nating mga pinoy

I vote for pastillas and chocnut too! I’d be nice to introduce them to Pinoy food slowly. Pulburon also sounds like a good idea and there are lots of recipes you can try. Of course teaching them how to eat it would prevent choking on the powdered stuff.
