“Ka-Mangyanan mo mandin.”
I’d hear that a lot in Mindoro whenever I asked about something I wasn’t familiar with.

That was the first time I saw taro, or gabi, harvested straight from the earth, not from a palengke.

The Mangyan farmers pulled it from the soil with quiet pride, hands moving in rhythm with the land.

These days, taro gives my taste buds a different kind of satisfaction. Not a loud flavor, but subtle and steady, the kind that rewards patience and people with refined taste.

Our Ube Taro Pinipig Pie was made for that kind of palate, grounded, humble, and deeply Filipino.

In hindsight, it’s almost ironic. The line “Ka-Mangyanan mo mandin” was meant to tease me for not knowing something, yet the Mangyans themselves have always known the land best. 🌿💜

“Pakagat nga...”
Next thing you know…
kalahati naubos. 😋

Naramdaman na ito ng bawat magulang.
Mga batang makalat kumain pero ang sarap panooring nageenjoy.

Parang ikaw rin,
bumabalik sa pagkabata.

That’s what happens
when it’s our Calamansi Meringue Pie,
sweet,
tangy,
and full of sunshine. ☀️

Make sure to bring this as pasalubong for your kids (or your inner child 😉)
