Must Be Mom's: The Best Ensaimada

Just came from Pricemart at the Fort which just recently opened (more about the newly opened Pricemart in another entry) and found this stall right outside it, as you walk from the indoor parking lot going to the entrance.

They sell ensaimada (either topped with your standard quick melt cheese OR topped with queso de bola) and also cheese rolls, which I am a sucker for (anything with cheese, yes, I will willingly eat).

Good thing I decided not to brush it off and keep on walking (as I am a loyal Mary Grace ensaimada and cheese roll fan) and decided to taste their samples. Sorry Mary Grace, but I am now a convert. Must Be Mom's is now on top of my list for best ensaimada. I tried both the quickmelt version and the queso de bola version, and must say the latter is waaay better.

Their ensaimada comes in the standard size and the bite sized bunches which we decided on buying. (Php 100 for the quickmelt version, Php 150 for the queso de bola version).

This picture is the result after less than an hour of purchase (only 3 pcs left out of around 20) Preggy sister finished off around 8 pcs, Mother finished 7, and I finished 2, pausing long enough to eat the last 3 shown here haha.

I like it because:

1. It's very soft!

2. It's just on the right side of light and airy

3. It's sticky-moist, not at all sticky-compact heavy or dough-y

3. It's impossible to eat just one piece (plus match it with hot chocolate---ayyy heaven!)

GOODBYE Mary Grace, it was good while it lasted haha.

Also got a box of cheese rolls which I have yet to taste.....
