Coconut and Ube B r i o c h e


These two famous tropical flavors are so popular here in the Philippines. It has its own distinct characteristic that I like that is why I never stopped using it as my flavor profile whenever I bake. I try not to forget the local produces because Philippines is where my heart is, my home.
