If the pasalubong from Iloilo were my children, I would say I love them all, but I would add that I love some more than others. I would also state without hesitation that I love cream horns above all. Playing favorites among my imaginary children would put me in the same league as Katie Otto of American Housewife in her doting over daughter Anna-Kat. In my previous entry, I called cream horn as the José Mourinho of pasalubong. It is the special one. To read that entry, please proceed here.
It had been a while since I had my fill of cream horn from Iloilo or otherwise, so I bullied someone into buying a box and had it flown to Metro Manila and delivered it to my doorsteps in Quezon City. 🙂
So after what seemed like an eternity, I finally had my dirty little fingers on these babies. They looked so good and so inviting. The flaky pastry and the gooey cream in the center were perfection. I had to stop myself from eating one small box with ten cream horns in one sitting, so I had five as a compromise. Ohemmmgheee. It was heavenly.
Reuniting with a loved one really feels good. 🙂
