Vjandep Pastel of Camiguin Island
Pastel is the pasalubong for camiguin's visitors, much like every destination in the Philippines has one. (To Filipinos, bringing home something bought from a travel or vacation to family and friends is part of Filipino culture called pasalubong and is the reason why it's so easy to spot Filipinos in airports-- too much baggage mostly pasalubong stuff!)
Pastel is available in cheese, langka, macapuno, mango, Pineapple and made-to-order durian, guava, strawberry, chocolate, and special yema
Ingredients(bun): Flour, eggs, milk, sugar, butter, shortening and yeast
filling: milk, butter and eggs

I love those Pastels too. My father buys them whenever he visits Cagayan De Oro (yup, they're sold there too). I just don't like those Durian variants.

masarap yung chocolate flavor =)may vjandep pastel sa SM.. SM davao hehehe =P another heart-stopping (literally) pasalubong from cagayan de oro is sler's chicharon. for me, better than the famous chicharon of carcar (cebu). favorites? marami.. bagnet ng ilocos, marang ng cotabato, bongbong's broas from negros, at seafoods from gensan, to name a few. halatang matakaw! masarap talaga mamasyal sa Pilipinas kasi bawat lugar, may kanya kanyang produkto. hindi lang mata ang busog, pati tiyan.

my favorite pasalubong from the philippines is dried squid even though my husband and children think it smells horrible. i would just lit up some candles to help absorb the smell in the house. sarap kasing isawsaw sa sukang may labuyo.
