Buko Pie from Nueva Vizcaya
Another MUST pasalubong when you passby Nueva Vizcaya. This buko pie is definitely a winner. Three-(3) buko pies for P120! Awesome! Good thing, HB brought 2 boxes home this second time around (from his Callao cave trip). One box was not enough for me and AD to share. We should have 1 box each!
Sorry, no close-up photo of the buko pie. To describe the pie…The first time I saw it, the buko pie was definitely not a love at first sight treat. I thought that this does not taste good but I tried it anyway. After all, HB wouldn’t buy it for us if it is not the BEST! Boy, I was wrong! One bite and pffft! The slice was gone within a few seconds. I even questioned HB, why he just bought 2 boxes (1 box had to be sent to his parents)?!
It was flat and small, not your typical buko pie from The Original’s nor Letty’s of Laguna. It was half inch high and diameter of 5-6 inches. On the box, you’ll see the Anchor Butter logo. That alone gives you a hint that it might taste good. Gettin’ hungry?…The crust was not dry nor hard…again, not your usual buko pie because it was chewy. When you bite into it, you’d know that the buko strips were not carefully chosen but that’s okay because surely it won’t bother your eating or at least, for me. What made me like the buko pie was filling. It was with the right sweetness, teeth sinking into the filling. You’d be surprise that it was easy finishing off one whole buko pie. Yummy! Killer food. Shucks! Good thing Nueva Vizcaya is not just an hour or two away from Manila because this might be our snack for one whole week!
Anyone going there again? Can you buy me 3boxes? No, make it 6 boxes! hahaha

I know the name of that store where that was bought but alas it’s at the tip of my tongue as of the moment hehe Im from Tuguegarao so whenever i go home and go back to manila i ask the bus driver to make a pit stop there. It has been a popular stopover eversince. U can ask Victory Liner drivers to buy for u just tip them na lang so u don’t need to go to vizcaya pa. hope this will help! =p

hi! i’m also a fan of this buko pie. I’m from Isabela. Everytime my father goes there he bring about 9 boxes of this buko pie for me and my mom. I even brought to boxes for my co-workers and they loved it too!
I hope that when he comes home next week, he’ll bring some again ^^

There’s also a new store in San Roque, San Rafael, Bulacan selling thin crust buko pies and many say it tastes like the buko pies in Nueva Vizcaya. It’s truly mouth watering as I’ve tasted it.
It’s called Celine’s Buko Pie, visit it when you have time.
