buko pie – Jellybeans in the City

In the heart of Filipino culture, pasalubong (souvenir treats) is more than just a gift—it’s a way to share the flavors of home with loved ones. Among these beloved treats, buko pie stands out as a true favorite. And when it comes to buko pies, Chef P Premium Buko Pie is making waves with its fresh take on this classic delicacy.

If you love traditional Filipino sweets, you’ll want to try Chef P’s buko pie creations. Imagine sinking your teeth into a slice of buttery, coconut-filled goodness—each bite bursting with flavor. That’s exactly what you get with Chef P Premium Buko Pies.

The Story Behind Chef P Premium Buko Pie

Chef P buko pies are a product of Picks Food Products Trading, a company that started as Mang Muring Pasalubong back in 2014. Originally, they had small shops along the busy highways of SLEX and NLEX, where travelers would stop to grab a taste of home. Over time, the company evolved, rebranding itself in 2022 as Picks Food Products Trading. This change marked their shift into the digital space, making their delicious pasalubong treats more accessible to everyone.

Despite the transformation, Picks Food Products Trading remains committed to the traditions that started it all. They still source the finest ingredients and work with local artisans to ensure every product reflects the rich flavors of Filipino cuisine. Chef P buko pies are a perfect example of this dedication, blending traditional recipes with a touch of modern flair.

Exploring the Flavorful Variants

Chef P Premium Buko Pie is best known for its classic version. The Classic Buko Pie (Php450) stays true to its roots, with a rich coconut filling encased in a golden, flaky crust. It’s the perfect balance of sweetness and texture, making it a go-to treat for anyone craving that familiar Filipino taste.

But Chef P doesn’t stop there. They also offer the Ube Halaya Buko Pie (Php550), which combines the creamy goodness of coconut with the rich flavor of ube (purple yam). This variant adds a unique twist to the traditional buko pie, giving you two iconic Filipino flavors in one delicious slice.

I haven’t yet had the chance to try the new Double Choco Buko Pie (Php550) and Honeydew Buko Pie (Php550), but they sound like intriguing options. The Double Choco Buko Pie promises a decadent blend of coconut and chocolate, while the Honeydew Buko Pie offers a refreshing twist with its light, fruity honeydew flavor. These new variants are sure to appeal to those looking for a new take on the classic buko pie.

Perfect Occasions to Enjoy Chef P Buko Pies

Wondering when to enjoy Chef P Buko Pies? Honestly, anytime is a good time! These pies are perfect for family gatherings and reunions, where you can share a slice of Filipino tradition with everyone. They also make great pasalubong—an ideal gift when visiting friends or family.

Holidays are another perfect occasion. Whether it’s Christmas, New Year’s, or a birthday, these pies make a fantastic alternative to the usual desserts. And don’t forget about office parties and potlucks—these buko pies are sure to be a hit with colleagues.

Even on regular days, treating yourself to a slice during meriyenda (afternoon snack) can brighten up your day. Heading to a picnic or planning a beach outing? Bring along a pie and watch it disappear in no time. Chef P’s pies also make unique giveaways for weddings, events, or any special occasion.

Why Chef P Buko Pie Stands Out

In my experience, what sets Chef P’s buko pies apart is their commitment to quality and flavor. The crust is perfectly flaky, and the filling is always fresh and flavorful. The Ube Halaya Buko Pie, in particular, blew me away with its rich blend of coconut and ube. Even my family and friends, who’ve tried different versions of buko pie over the years, couldn’t stop raving about Chef P’s take on this classic treat.

There are plenty of reasons why our home-grown fast-food chain Jollibee remains unbeaten by international giants that set up operations here.

For many Pinoys, the tastes and textures from this unassuming restaurant chain that they enjoyed and grew up with continue to hold pride of place in their hearts and palates. From its ice cream sundaes that parents treat their toddlers to, the uniquely Pinoy-style spaghetti that graces birthday celebrations, to the crispy and juicy fried chicken that teenagers on their first dates enjoy, Jollibee has been serving up tasty and affordable fast-food well-suited to Pinoy tastebuds through the years.

The quarantines brought about by the pandemic may have curtailed the busy mealtimes at Jollibee branches frequented by friends and family, but fortunately, they can still enjoying their fast food faves by ordering for delivery.

That’s what I did one lazy Sunday afternoon as the fam was enjoying our individual pursuits: myself binge-watching on Netflix, Hubby monitoring the news on the US elections and the kids cooped up in their rooms. When the delivery arrived, we all came together to grab a bite and catch up.

I treated myself to my favorite snack – a Cheesy Classic Jolly Hotdog Value Meal (Php83). The Cheesy Classic Jolly Hotdog consists of a juicy and meaty sausage encased in a hotdog bun, topped with special dressing, grated cheese and tomato ketchup. While other iterations of the Jolly Hotdog have been launched over the years, I remain loyal to this original version. The value meal comes with regular Coke and regular fries.

For Hubby, I got an Amazing Aloha Yumburger with Drink (Php109). Considering the man does not like mixing sweets with savory, I’m amazed that this burger made with Jollibee’s Yumburger beef patty topped with a pineapple slice, crispy bacon strips and melted cheese encased in a burger bun would appeal to him.

For the kiddos, I got Peach Mango (Php98 for a three-piece Pies-to-Go set) and two pieces of Buko Pie (Php33/piece). These pocket pies are made with fruit filling encased in puff pastry then deep-fried until the crust turns crispy and golden brown.

For a few precious moments that afternoon, the whole fam took a break and got together to share a bite. #SarapKasamaAngPamilya, indeed!
