I am so grateful for the recipe for the Vigan empanada. It has been 8 years since I have first tried it during a visit to Vigan for my graduating class seminar.
Its taste has been long awaited for.
I can’t wait to try it. Any chance of getting the recipe for babinka (not sure of the spelling) – the place right next to the stalls that sell this. It was the most delicious thing I ever tasted!

This is one of my favorite bread. I first tasted this when we visited the beautiful beaches of La Union, Philippines. There is that so-called “sari-sari” store that sells this stuff; we bought some of it and wow!…really taste good along with a soda coke. I will definitely buy this bread again the next time I will visit Philippines. Thanks for the post!
