Lasang Pinoy 16: Chocolate Polvoron

13 de diciembre de 2006 | Postres, Alimento filipino, Lasang Pinoy | Visto 12.933 veces

Para uninitiated, polvoron es una delicadeza filipina dulce. Es una mezcla comprimida y moldeada de la harina tostada, de la leche pulverizada, del azúcar y de la mantequilla. Viene en muchas variedades incluyendo polvoron con pinipig (arroz golpeado tostado), con las tuercas o con el polvo de cacao. La mezcla se presiona en un molde especial con una manija del resorte para eliminar el polvoron moldeado en pedazos cuadrados del papel del celofán donde se envuelve.

Estaba durante un viaje a Los Baños, Laguna el año pasado cuando primero muestreamos el polvoron recubierto de chocolate. Compré un paquete, apenas para intentar, y di el paquete a los cabritos en el backseat. Hicimos otra parada para comprobar hacia fuera algunas hierbas potted. Porque lloviznaba, nosotros a la izquierda los cabritos en el coche con instrucciones de trabar las puertas. Fui a continuación y examiné las hierbas potted. Después de algunos minutos, mi marido fue de nuevo al coche a comprobar para arriba en los cabritos. Él se volvió para mí con las noticias que los cabritos no podrían hablar - sus bocas eran llenas y con cada palabra hablada hacia fuera vino la leche polvorienta del polvoron. En fin, tuvieron gusto de él. También malo que no podríamos encontrar el polvoron recubierto de chocolate en nuestra área, no uniforme en el metro Manila. Hasta el ayer por la noche.

Cenábamos en Vieux Chalet ayer por la noche - otra vez. Ayer era nuestro décimo quinto aniversario de la boda y comemos siempre hacia fuera en nuestro aniversario de la boda. Pero desde ayer era un schoolday, tuvimos que elegir un restaurante que eran cerca bastante y que no exigiría el conseguir cogido en atascos de tráfico especialmente con las acometidas de Navidad. Pedimos a cabritos el día antes donde desearon ir y dieron la misma respuesta - Vieux Chalet.

Tan apagado a Vieux Chalet fuimos. Charlábamos con el dueño, Susan Hassig, todo a través de cena. Cuando nuestro cappuccino fue servido en el extremo de la comida, ella preguntó lo que deseamos para el postre. Éramos así que no podríamos pensar por completo en pedir incluso una rebanada de la torta o de una cucharada del helado. That was when she said she had something for us to try.

She came back with a festive box the size of a fruitcake. We opened it and discovered it was full of polvoron. At first, I thought she must have been mistaken when she said they were chocolate coated polvoron because some of the pieces I saw were distinctly white — the color of regular polvoron.

When I unwrapped it… oh, it was white chocolate coated polvoron. I bit into it and there were bits of pinipig inside. My husband took a dark chocolate coated piece and discovered that the polvoron tasted like cookies and cream. Unlike the rough and uneven chocolate coating of the polvoron in Los Baños, these were smooth, the chocolate coating was even and the craftsmanship was just wonderful.

chocolate polvoron comes in christmas gift boxes

And, yes, they were for sale by the box. We ordered 25 boxes. I normally don’t give food gifts but I’m making an exception this year. Sorry that I do not have the recipe for this glorious delicacy but I’ll do the next best thing. I’ll give you the contact information in case you want to order them. The landline is 6970396 and the cell phone number is 09178565175. Just ask for Susan Hassig. :)

    Hi Connie,

    Thanks for the contact info. In the last few years, it has been hard to find good pasalubong from the Philippines because it seems everything can be had here in the US. The chocolate covered polvoron looks and sounds really decadent! I will make sure I get some in February when I visit.

  • cathy on Dec 14, 2006 at 6:46 am

    sassy, does susan make the polvorons herself or is she just a distributor? they look very good!!!

  • maan on Dec 14, 2006 at 9:35 am

    hi connie,
    may i know how much a box of this polvoron cost? and where specifically is Vieux Chalet?

    thanks!

  • Connie on Dec 14, 2006 at 11:00 am

    Leah, I’m not so sure that they are available all year round.

    Cathy, the polvorons are not made in Vieux Chalet.

    maan, i’ll have to ask my husband about the price. or you can just text the number above to be sure. Vieux Chalet is on Taktak Road in Antipolo.

  • neri on Dec 14, 2006 at 2:40 pm

    hi connie,

    i just called ms. susan, kaya lang next week pa ulit pwedeng mag order. :sad: thank you fo posting this, nag ka-idea tuloy ako on what to give our friends this xmas.

  • Connie on Dec 14, 2006 at 4:42 pm

    nari, kami din yung 2nd batch nung 25 boxes, next week pa eh. i think making the chocolate polvoron is labor intensive.

  • Malou See on Dec 16, 2006 at 9:58 am

    Yes…I admit Pulvoron is labor intensive…been making this (Chocolate coated Pulvoron) for my home based business for two years now. Sad, this type of goodies doesnt click with the Chinese society in terms of gift giving. There are a lot of great Filipino delicacy great for gift giving….its the artistic way of presenting that counts.

  • Connie on Dec 23, 2006 at 1:49 am

    Hi Malou. You wrote: “its the artistic way of presenting that counts.”

    Is that so? I think it is the quality of the product that counts. Relying on presentation rather than the quality of the product is much like cheating customers — all style, no substance.

  • mike on Dec 23, 2006 at 4:14 pm

    Hi Connie,

    Thank you for joining us in this LP round! Those chocolate polvoron look yummy!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family!

  • Connie on Dec 23, 2006 at 4:25 pm

    Holiday greetings to you and yours too, Mike. :)

    Re LP: I always join UNLESS I forget hehehehehe

  • Nenette Santos on Dec 25, 2006 at 11:18 pm

    Hi Connie,

    Thank you very much for your wonderful comments about my family’s chocolate coated pulvoron. It is my sister Lea, who has been friends with Susan Hassig for years, who makes those pulvoron with the help of our parents. And thanks also for the 25 boxes that you ordered. I just talked to her, and she told me about this blog, so I went online as and read to her what you wrote about their pulvoron. My sister told me that she plans to make this all year-round. So those who wants to order may place it through Vieux Chalet.

  • Connie on Dec 26, 2006 at 2:49 pm

    Hi Nenette, all year round sounds great! Balikbayans will be very very interested. :)

  • Neng De Leon on Mar 7, 2007 at 5:38 pm

    Hi Connie! I am planning to go Laguna to look for that Cholate pulvoron you are talking about. may i ask where exactly in Los banos I could find those delicacies? thank you

  • Neng De Leon on Mar 7, 2007 at 5:41 pm

    Oh before I forgot! This blog is amazing! You are so generous, sharing your knowledge & talents on cooking! May God bless you more & more!:smile:

    marlon, if i have the recipe, i probably would. but if you read the entry, you would know that i DON’T have it.

  • Josie on Sep 28, 2007 at 8:31 am

    I love making homemade goodies to give friends at Christmas - and one of them is the polvoron. I make the regular polvoron every year, except that this year they will look a lot fancier (thanks for your info on the chocolate coated polvoron). I think I have an idea on how to make them. (I’ll have to try since we can’t order them anywhere here yet.) The sprinkles sure gave the above-pictured polvoron a festive look.

    About Vieux Chalet: I’d been checking on the internet for a place to stay overnight in Antipolo, and read about Vieux Chalet. I was quite impressed with the description of the place, but confused by the conflicting comments of people who had been there. Lately, however, reading about your family trips to Vieux Chalet have erased all my doubts. We will spend a night there on our next visit to the Philippines.

    It’s a pleasure visiting your blog, Connie.

  • ane on Sep 30, 2007 at 8:23 pm
