I first saw this amazing pastry from San Juan, Ilocos Sur featured on a magazine t.v show. I asked my good friend from the same town if he knows about it and surprisingly, only few residents make them today (ill tell you why and how later) and so the research, interview, and craving for this crispy, crusty, half moon shaped filled with perfectly roasted sesame seeds delight began!

Hi, Edgie! Thank you for this. I'm still researching more about this heritage delicacy from Ilocos. But basically, it "used to be" homemade my the women in San Juan, Ilocos Sur. It's like Brick-oven baked/toasted Pita bread (just a bit thinner), with sesame seeds and sugar as filling. Yum!
Right now, I'm discovering delicacies from my own province-Bulacan (lalawigan ng mga bayani at magaganda! Hahaha!).
Thanks!
