What is Biscocho? A hard pastry strongly associated with Iloilo province, biscocho is essentially bread that is baked to a toast, and then topped or coated with butter and sugar, sometimes garlic.
Rosquillos are one of the baked goodies most associated with Cebu. Rumored to have been coined by Philippine president Sergio Osmeña himself, the name comes from the Spanish word rosca, meaning “ring.”
