Choosing from Dumaguete's sans rival, Pampanga's tibok-tibok, and Camiguin's pastel, I'm casting my vote for the latter – a yema-filled pastry that can be bought at the Vjandep bakeshop in Catarman, Camiguin Island. It's not as sinfully mouth-watering as Lord Stowe's egg tarts in Macau, but the local version is satisfying in its simplicity. It's also not as sweet as you'd expect Pinoy desserts to be, which was a relief. The small sizes are easy to pop into your mouth while hiking on the island with friends.
