Food; Hit and Misses

I was out of Cebu for quite sometime and within those years of absence, I miss a few food tidbits specially finger snack delights found in malls. I was a mall rat before (still consider myself one up to now) and this types of food are very accessible that made me missed eating them once in a while.

Misses:

The Oishi Manju. This are steamed cakes of flour mixtures with delicious chocolate or custard filling inside. As you can see in this pictures, it is a pear shape cake which became very delightable to eat due to its small and mouthfull size. Upon chewing you will then taste the filling inside that brings a delectable appeal into it. I haven't seen this food stall anywhere else yet that makes it uniquely Cebu. The 8 pieces Oishi Manju cakes cost at around Php28.00.

Hit:

It was just recently that I discovered another uniquely Cebu tidbit. They call it FOBI, a baked Ice Cream. Yes folks, a baked ice cream!! Baked in a since that the ice cream is enclose in a tard flour where it will be baked like a regular bread yet it has a cold ice cream inside. I know your confused but it make sense. Its preserve first in a freezer as you can see in the picture and then they'll take it out when you buy one, put it in an oven for a while then gave it to you hot and cold. The oven will bake the the flour outside thus it became a hot soft bread with an ice cream inside. Its like eating a hot and cold ice cream, they mixed and jive pretty well, a brilliant idea. I would say that I like it, it brings a different smack to my senses.

I was able to chat a bit to the attendant and she was very proud to tell me that its their very own recipe and cannot be found anywhere else. Its indeed uniquely Cebuano that hails from Barangay Lahug. She also told me that the company exist for about a year now and since it receive remarkable support from customers, they have expanded their operation reaching towards the four walls of SM City Cebu. A feet worth nothing for a booming Cebuano company.

You should try this when if you accidentally stroll by SM Cebu, highly recommended by me.
