Nostalgic Pinoy Snacks Reinvented
Online, Pasig City
If you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, you probably still have the iconic tastes of your childhood cached in your memory. It was a time before tablets and smartphones when kids played outside with neighbors and saved up their baon to buy their favorite treats from sari-sari stores. White Rabbit, Iced Gems, HawHaw, and more—many of these snacks are still available in the market today, but most of them have also been transformed into unique and innovative desserts by ingenious local businesses. Try them out so you can rediscover what made you fall in love with them in the first place.
