Masa Podrida from Cheling's Delicacies

Just like what a popular tagline says "Once you pop, you can't stop". Except for the   popping , you really can't stop eating once you've tried these short bread biscuits known as masa podrida from Cheling's Delicacies. It was around 10 days when Mr. Eugene Jamerlan and I dropped by the Montelibano compound in Mandurriao. As I was going to Cebu in a few days then, we cleared all their stock of masa podrida that day as Casa Gorordo, one of the best lifestyle museums in the Philippines, got some orders. So we bought around 20 boxes and having tasted these back, i got myself two boxes which had me popping  (wait there's no popping)-lol since then. Just as simple as it is it was delicious. 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 ...

Masa Podrida cookie from Molo County bakesop

Masa podrida , literally translated as spoiled dough, is the Filipino version of short bread. While doing my rounds of blog buying in the city, chanced upon this cookie at Deco's Pasalubong Center. It was between familiar and "alien" to me since the word masa podrida rings a bell everytime I hear (read about) it yet I had no idea what it really is. So I got this pack for the main purpose of blogging about it. It was just ordinary looking and also tastes one. It was the saltiness that I got to taste first and it reminds me of the cookie known as halfmoon bread. Both cookies taste salty upon first bite and gets "yummier" as you continue eating them. But I love the halfmoon better.
