Hubby and I walked for 40 minutes to Main Street, where the closest Filipino grocery is located, Aling Mary's. You'll smell the store a block away. It's the scent of freshly baked pandesal (Filipino brioche bun). I got half a dozen pandesal and another six pieces of the ube pandesal with cream cheese inside.

Reheating in the oven or even an air fryer makes the pandesal oh so delicious.

I also ordered their Bibingka, which is very coconutty and a couple of Asado siopao.

I have wanted Otap (sugar biscuits) and Rosquillos (egg cookies) from Cebu for a long time and found both in the store.

Lastly, I love Piattos, so I got one, and hubby said we should get Pik-Nik as well.
Aling Mary's is such a happy place for me. I was telling hubby that we should move near a Filipino grocery store. He said he'd be worried that I'd buy too much food all the time. 😂
