Ranking Childhood Filipino Snacks

[anzu2snow]

This month’s Treats is here. It’s the Philippines this time. It’s been a little over a year since they featured it last. The postcard is of Bohol. The recipe this time is Sizzling Pork Sisig. Something I can’t have. I don’t think I would like it even if I could. The box was so full of snacks, it was bulging. There are some ‘new’ ones to try. I threw out the 2 shrimp flavored chips, since I can’t eat shellfish. They didn’t have the ube cake and Pillows Ube last time. I’ve heard about ube, but I don’t think I’ve had it before. I tried the Iced Gem Biscuits as part of my snack today. They were interesting. They were little bits of icing on a small pillowy cookie. Not as sweet as I expected. I think I remember the Sweet Corn was really good.

Fudgee Bang Dalgona!

NOTE: This Fudgee Barr flavor is a limited edition flavor. They released this flavor because of celebration of 20th Anniversary of the release of Fudgee Barr this year. And the reason why the box says Fudgee Bang, it's because it's inspired by popular Korean snacks + Ryan Bang (He's a Korean-Filipino artist!)

The best thing since sliced bread: Red Ribbon's New Classic White Bread!

In the heart of Filipino households, white bread has long been more than just a pantry staple; it’s a nostalgic comfort that evokes cherished memories and delightful flavors. Familiarly known as “tasty bread,” this humble yet beloved treat holds a special place in the hearts of Pinoys. From delicious breakfast toasts, filling lunch sandwiches to decadent puddings for dessert, white bread has…

Recently, I had my first hopia cake from Costco, which is a type of Filipino pastry filled with bean paste filling. Overall, I really liked it since the filling was very generous and the outer layer was light and thin. You can read more about it in my newest blog post!

All in all, I highly recommend it if you have never tried it before!

This ube cheese pandesal is flavored with purple yam and stuffed with quick melt cheese. It’s a modern take on a classic Filipino bread roll.

I don't like talking about twitter drama anywhere but I just found the funniest twitter drama I've seen and it's literally about turon (a filipino snack made up of a fried wrapped banana with glazed sugar). Here's the translated thread as I guide you to this insanity:

"I SCOLDED CASHIERS AT SM MANILA SUPERMARKET. The line to buy a turon was long and there were only a few turon left on the stand. I was in the middle of the line and there was a lot more people behind me that wanted to avail a turon."

"There were 2 cashiers that were on break or had clocked out maybe that went to the cashier of the turon stand, and I heard that they were trying to reserve 2 turon. The cashier said 'Go to the line hey' but these two insisted that they don't need to go on the queue. So my blood started boiling because I really hate getting cut off in line."

"Then the one cashier took 2 turons for the two cashiers that cut in line. One of them said 'Dat ours?' then the cashier gave the turon to the two cashiers that cut in line and were waiting at the counter to pay. So my blood boiled even more."

"Then I told the cashier 'Miss you actually let these two cut in line while there's so many people in line, you're being unfair to the people waiting at the back' the cashier said 'Ah the two, sir?' Then I replied 'Obviously, yes!' with a bit of an angry tone in my voice."

"The 2 cashiers that cut in line for the turon were already holding them then I told these other two who were assigned in the counter that 'If you don't give up the turon, I'll let your manager know, there's a lot of people in line hoping to buy it too.' Dont tolerate that kind of attitude. So unfair!"

"The two cashiers didn't really say anything and they took the turon from the other two that cut in line. I just don't get why there's these kinds of people that could already see that there's a line but are still forcing themselves in and would choose to be unfair to others."

"Given that they're employees of SM, shouldn't they be more understanding because we're customers where they work. I'm not saying that the customer is always right, I just wish that they also know what's right and wrong. And there, I was able to buy a Turon with Chocnut*. Delicious!"

"And the people in line behind me because they were also able to buy some. 😊"

Additional Context:

Turon in SM is priced at PHP 25 which is relatively cheap. It's bout 0.50 USD?

More comparatively, seeing as OP looked at least middle to upper class (we'll discuss that later), it would've been easily affordable to him, but maybe a bit of a struggle for the two cashiers since they make less than the national average and are also contractual, often losing their jobs and not having any benefits.

Chocnut - a popular Filipino peanut butter chocolate that has a powdery consistency. it often melts in your mouth and is widely popular and beloved across the country.

This shit blew up and I mean blew up like this was just over ONE thread

It blew up so much that TURON started trending in Filipino twitter

Most people agreed that although cutting in line is bad, it seemed like OP felt way too proud of himself and probably should've just let it go because they were probably underpaid, overworked employees who only had 15 minute breaks.

OP's replies were also reeeeally self-important like

Person 1: mygod girl just dont anger a hungry person. lols OP: I stood up not for myself but for the people who were in line too and willing to wait. Again, respect and let's just be fair. Person 2: Oh no, he rly thinks of himself as a hero after what he's done here 😭😭😭😭

People jokingly started calling OP patay-gutom (lit. dead-hungry), a term we use here for someone extremely hungry and typically those who are hungry because of extreme poverty so OP decided to prove the haters wrong by... telling people that he was actually a millionaire???

Person 3: You're a bit patay-gutom sis in this part. All that lashing for turon? Hahaha. Get a life girly! Person 3: This is the deleted tweet of sissy @/op's handle [Screenshot of OP's tweet with an attached censored image of one of his bank account information that shows that he has 1.5 Million Pesos. OP: Me who's patay-gutom and a girly with no life, is this okay now? Or do I SS my other banks? Jkkkk✌🏻]

So anyway, here's some of my favorite tweets translated!

The turon of SM, bow The turon of SM is queued for The sweet banana, sugar and chocnut Spreads at every bite Giving joy to those in line and the cashier Yet the poor cashier Who stood for ten hours Was denied two of the turon...

Next time you should just buy turon here I mean you have P1.5 M in Metrobank anyway [Image of the top of a menu for Amanpulo Clubhouse Restaurant]

The line for turon at SM jk: [screenshots of two videos of people slowly walking in a line in a crowded railway station]

motherfucker your thread is so long that if you just used the time you used to type to just go to the next sm to buy turon

------------------

It's officially been about a day and half since this happened but it's still trending right now which is pretty crazy. I don't think I've ever been this blown away with discourse over filo twitter until now. I will probably think about Turon Man for a good while.

im glad im not into makeup but i wish i was a little into makeup. ya kno

and clothes. my current lifestyle simply does not necessitate nice clothes like im still wearing t shirts, cargo pants, and electrical hazard boots from my working-onsite days, but. there's a more cosmopolitan ideal of me in my head who owns a cute double breasted wool coat aside from my workmans duck jacket. ya kno ?
