It was a pleasant surprise that a branch opened along Visayas Avenue in Quezon City (near the Quezon Memorial Circle).

[...] Then one afternoon somebody brought a box of Bibingkinitan for afternoon snacks. It smelled like cheese heaven. It’s not toasted, but not too soft. There’s a constant struggle between sweetness and saltiness, the sugar versus the cheese and salted egg. If the world has this balance, then we’ll have, ahem, world peace. It’s mini size means it’s easier to eat than the bigger alternatives, like Ferino’s. [...]
