My mom just bought this pastel. I was expecting the different type of pastel. The pastel I knew was a deep fried Brazilian snack which was made of a thin dough envelope and has some fillings inside.
Although the box states that they offer a variety of other flavors (Ube, Mango, Macapuno, Cheese, Langka, Pineapple, Durian, Guava, Strawberry,Chocolate) , this one had Original Yema Fillings. I could understand why according to the box, they had received numerous awards. It was delicious. The buns where soft and tasty. The yema filling was not the hard yema, but a soft and wet yema. It reminded me of buns with condense milk except that this was a bit chunky. It was great. Kurt found it too sweet for his taste though. But for me it was just right. How about you do you think it's too sweet?
