Arguably my favorite flavor from this brand. I love the addition of shredded coconut to the cheese topped brioche. I usually take a few out of the fridge an hour or two before consumption, thaw them gently.
IceKC
I ordered the “Cheese” ensaymada before but haven’t tried the Macapuno -right after I received this today -I ate 1 piece and it taste good too - the Macapuno on top just doesn’t taste macapuno but it taste coconut …still good though Will try ube next time .
