Crunchy Piaya
The secret of the best Piaya in town is OUT! HB is really fond of piaya so when we knew about this piaya thru our new found friend, Manny. I knew that HB just have to get a taste of this. We called and ordered for 2 packs. It was supposed to be a snack when we visit our parent’s place but the plastic of 10 pcs was gone before we even enter our street. Puffft! Gone! I guess this is our way of saying, WE LOVE THE PIAYA!
Usual piaya is the flat one but this has a shape and lump of your usual hopia. So we thought it was like it BUT it was not heavy. Definitely, this is not a hopia piaya. As we had our bite of the piaya, CRUNCH! was all we hear. Crunch, crunh, crunch! The piaya was airy in the middle but the sweet muscovado filling (with sesame seeds) was thinly spread on the piaya crust. It would’ve been great to heat and eat it warm as the filling would be kinda melted while the crust still crunchy BUT if you can’t resist it, be sure to buy an extra pack for you to enjoy it at home. The sesame seeds did a fine job in giving the piaya a toasted flavor!
Want to try it? This is great for family and friends gatherings!
Piaya is P70/ pack of 10s.

Was bloghopping and came upon your site…I just have to say that I am THRILLED to find that I can buy Bailon piaya in Manila! I craved for this when I was pregnant, but whenever my husband went to Bacolod they were always out of stock in Pendi’s. So I had to make do with the normal piaya. This is really the best!! Thanks for sharing!:D
