Danggit

1. Lynn Moro's Belgian lace cookies at Don Merto's in SM City. “Lynn Moro makes ‘em just like the Belgians. It's perfect. I like buying the assorted pack.”

2. Fresh mangoes from the stalls along Banilad Road.

3. Chilen chicharon with laman or crisp fried pork skin and fat from Carcar chicharon. These are crispy pork cracklings, a popular local snack.

4. 7D Dried Mangoes and Mangorind (D Mango Nectar Sacris Road, Mandaue City,+6332/ 346 122, 346 1769, www.7dmangoes.com ). “There are a gazillion brands in the market, but I like the taste of 7D. They were the pioneers in Mangorind, a killer combination of mango and tamarind.”

5. Danggit bought at the Taboan Market. “Dried fish at its salty, tangy finest. Nothing’s like Cebuano danggit!”

6. Shamrock Otap. “This flaky pastry is sold at Shamrock's main outlet just across Fuente Osmeña. It's so good; I recently sent some to friends in London. They loved it!”
