The Biko and workers were enough for me to give five stars. I may be hyping up the Biko but it's so friggin delicious. Reminds me of how my Lola makes it and NO ONE beats the way my Lola makes it.
I love how it doesn't get hard after awhile either. Sometimes when you put Biko in the fridge it gets hard and doesn't taste as fresh. Not this one! Stays soft and gooey once it gets back to room temp! The texture and sweetness is perfect. There are also a few little pieces of jackfruit throughout the dessert.
I could probably eat the whole tray but I don't want my family getting mad at me.
To be honest, I think 7.99 is pretty hefty, but literally it was flying off the shelves when I was there. Sooo people will buy it! And because it's so good, it's justified.
My mom also bought some ensaymada from the display case and damn, they were surprisingly on point too! I usually don't like store bought ensaymada but the plain ones here are perfect! My mom actually fell in love with them too! I like the "plain" ones because there's no cheese on it. I know that might be weird but I prefer my ensaymada without the cheese. They sugar the bottom of the ensaymada instead of the top.
Servers were sweet, respectful and fast. They referred to my mom as tita (aunt) and I heard them call other patrons the respectful way in Filipino.
We came pretty early on Boxing Day and their shelves were pretty bare. Not sure if it's because it was early or things fly off the shelves. *shrug I'm just glad we got Biko and ensaymada.
