Masa Podrida cookies from Cheling's Delicacies


Just like what a popular tagline says "Once you pop, you can't stop". Adapted from the Pringles slogan, I like to use it to describe food discoveries that becoming addicting.



Except for the popping, I really can't stop eating these short bread biscuits known as masa podrida from Cheling's Delicacies.


Just as simple as it is,  it was delicious. You won't find any fancy design or shapes nor over the top ingredients. It's just addictively delicious.



Even, my friends can't help but also be addicted since each bite deserves another and in no time at all, we finish a whole pack.

One of them describes this to be a polvoron made into a crisp cookie. Whether you agree or not, it is much better if you can taste these masa podrida.



Each box costs PhP160 and contains three packs having 6 or 7 biscuits so that's around  8 pesos for each bite of heaven.

Other than this short bread, they also have Carrot Cakes, Prune Cakes, Chocolate Cakes, Cassava Cake, Orange Walnut Squares and baked products like lasagna among others.


Cheling's Delicacies is located at the Montelibano Compound a few meters after the Carpenter Bridge if you're coming from Molo

Coming from Mandurriao or Tabucan, it's that compound of bungalows before you reach the bridge. For orders and more information, please contact (033) 321-0219.
