One of my favorite desserts but this one in particular because it reminds me of my childhood request to my lolo to always bring me a pasalubong from bayan (town center). My grandparents will always bring me pilipit wrapped banana leaves. The brown sugar caramel forms a crispy crunchy crust on top of the chewy center.
Pilipit is rarely served in restaurants and very few have this on offer. This caramel pilipitis served at Cafe Quezon. A little bit different than what I had in Laguna back in the days.
Classic pancit habhab of Quezon. The difference from the traditional one is that this one is served on a plate and eaten with a fork. The traditional way of serving this is on a piece of banana leaf just big enough to be held by your hand then eaten directly from the palm as it were. served with generous dash of vinegar.
