Yummy Senoritas of Silay


These are Senoritas straight from the kitchen of Emma Lacson of Silay.  This artisanal kitchen is one of Negros' culinary secrets. There is no sign but you can enter the gate and go up their kitchen to purchase their delicacies.  However, it is highly recommended to call and order first before going here. One of their specialties is this heavenly square called Senoritas.

Online research yield that these decadent morsels were in fact Hispanic in origin, Cuban to be exact. How it came about in Silay is a mystery, but this may have been brought in by Spaniards or even Ilustrados coming home from the motherland.  Nevertheless, this dessert always elicits ooohs and aaahs from many first timers.  Who can resist a square of alternating layers of buttered crust and dulce de leche? Not me.  Such decadence is usually reserved for special event and sinful cravings.

Total damage? P300 for a whole box.
