Pili Squares and other EMMA LACSON's Delicacies

The last heritage house we visited was a unique one.We were greeted by a woman probably in her late 40's posing in front of a white table with some delicacies on it.We were told to sample the food and I thought it would be a mere food tasting moment.But it was probably the best-ever food tasting experience I had.On the table, Pili Squares, fresh lumpia, empanada, paño-paño----the best pili squares I have tasted,the best fresh lumpia,and the empanada was great too!

The woman I was referring to was Nora Lacson.She enherits a proud family and the tradition of making some of the best delicacies in Silay (and probably the whole of Negros), EMMA LACSON's Delicacies at
SOLEDAD AND MARIA MONTELIBANO LACSON ANCESTRAL HOUSE.

Actually,it took a lot of will on my behalf to control myself from getting more food samples on the table.Did you notice how many times I made use of the word "best" in my narration above!?hehe

I would like to mention the lumpia first.Manamis-namis na diko mapaliwanag.Di nakakasawa.Sarap. The empanada,equally delectable.My taste buds couldn't distinguish exactly what the difference is with other empanadas except that I know that it's "special" or,can I say "super special" so as to emphasize that it really satisfied me? :)

 
Fresh Lumpia. the best!

 
empanada ---look at the intricate layers on the crust.

 

And the Pili Squares are not to be missed.Sweet but not overly sweet,I can eat this the whole day without getting sugar overload and the "umay" effect.what fascinates me is the thin crust which is crunchy and a little chewy at the same time.Anu ba sinabi ko.Malutong na makunat na diko mapaliwanang.And it stays that way even after a few days unrefrigerated.Yes,di ako maka-get over sa sarap so I bought one box which is worth 250pesos.

I realized later on that it's somewhat pricey,but if you come to think of it,Pili square this special is definitely worth 250php.after all,it's only in SOLEDAD AND MARIA MONTELIBANO LACSON ANCESTRAL HOUSE where you can buy it.The Lacson are so particular with maintaining the quality of their brand that the option of mass production is out of the table.I like that!

We were allowed access into their small kitchen and I saw a couple of old folks preparing the delicacies witj much care.Kaya naman pala masarap,alam mong me pagmamahal don sa mga gumagawa :)
