]]>The ensaimada is probably one of the oldest pastries being served and is still enjoyed by many of us today. For this week, Zee’s pick for the week is the famous Filipino afternoon delight, the ensaimada. The ensaimada can be traced back to the 17th century. Its origin is in Mallorca, Ballearic Islands in Spain. The name ensaimada is rooted from the Catalan word saim which literally means pork lard. This is because the basic ingredients in making an ensaimada are flour, water, sugar, eggs, mother dough, and a reduced pork lard. Hence, ensaimada is one of the legacies left by the Spanish influences.
When we talk about ensaimada in Cebu, there is only one patisserie in town that is known worldwide for the softest, cheesiest, and tastiest ensaimada, and that is Marco Polo Plaza Cebu. The hotel’s ensaimada was initially offered as a dessert or an afternoon pair to your cup of coffee; however, guests are mesmerized by the perfection of the ensaimada that they want to share the experience with their family and friends. Now, anyone can order the world-renowned Marco Polo ensaimada in a box of 3 or in a box of 6 to bring home or to give as gifts.
Please check Marco Polo Plaza Cebu for the flavours, prices, and promotions of their ensaimada.
