Meet Gab’s Premium Ensaymada! Made with customer’s satisfaction in mind, the nicely packed baked goodies made their way to Ohio, USA from Calgary, Canada. With its selection of premium versions, Gab’s Premium Ensaymada has proven that it could easily elevate the traditional Filipino ensaymada (aka ensaimada) and offer a novel spin on the classic breakfast/snack delicacy.
Edward Landicho, aka Dee, is the sole proprietor of Gab’s Premium Ensaymada. We met on Kumu, a Filipino social networking program that connects Filipinos all over the world through live streaming. With his upbeat attitude and positive demeanor, Dee is easy to get along with. And during one of our occasional live streaming sessions, one of our Kumu buddies recommended that I try Dee’s homemade ensaymada. I was then directed to Dee’s Instagram account, where I got to see video clips and photos of ensaymada variations. Oh boy, the ensaymada photos speak for themselves! To be honest, I’ve never seen so many ensaymada photos in one place, let alone so many with varied flavors.
I need to try Gab’s Premium Ensaymada, I thought. And sure enough, few days later, I was already in contact with Dee about ordering three boxes of ensaymada!
Shipping ensaymadas from Calgary, Canada to Ohio, USA requires special care since you don’t want the goodies to spoil on their route over 1,500 miles. Dee made sure that the ensaymadas would arrive at my door tasting just as they had when they were sent. A few days later, a large box of ensaymada was waiting at my door when I returned from work.
I ripped open the package right away, eager to try it. Lo and behold, Dee surprised me by giving me a free extra box! I only ordered the salted egg, pistachio, and gouda flavors. Dee gave me a complimentary box of ube flavor! Yah!
I chose one flavor, placed it on a plate, and microwaved it for 12 seconds according to the package directions. Then I bit into Gab’s Premium Ensaymada for the first time!
The Salted Egg Ensaymada
Sweet and salty ensaymada, it does exist. Of the flavors I bought, this was the one I had the most reservations about. Although Filipino food frequently combines sweet and salty tastes, I had never considered how well it may work in an ensaymada.
Yet, who would have guessed that combining slices of salted egg with a sweet ensaymada would result in a taste that is both delicious and addictive? No wonder this variety is one of Dee’s bestsellers.
The Pistachio Ensaymada
I adore everything nut-related. It goes without saying that this pistachio ensaymada is among the finest I’ve ever tasted. Come on, you can tell it is tasty simply by looking at it. And when the top of the bun is adorned with nut colors, you know you are in for some delectable delights.
The first mouthful of this delightful confection would remain with you for the rest of your life! No kidding. The contrast between the softness of the bread and the texture of the crushed pistachio is a marriage made in heaven, accentuating the essence of ensaymada. No doubt, this is paradise for my palette!
To those who are still thinking of what flavors to try, do not skip to put pistachio ensaymada on your list.
The Gouda Ensaymada
If you are wondering what flavor did I taste first after opening the box, it was this. I thought that if the classic gouda ensaymada tastes good, the rest of the flavors would be just as good or even better. Alas, this ensaymada variety exceeded my expectations!
This soft, buttery bun is topped with a generous portion of shredded cheese and frosting. Unlike other ensaymadas, this one balances the mild cheesy flavor with the buttery texture of the bun. The first bite entices you to want more, as if there is a mystery flavor that stimulates your taste buds.
The Ube Ensaymada
In the Philippines, ube is used in ice cream, desserts, and pastries. This ube-flavored ensaymada is filled with sweetened purple yam jam and coated with a creamy frosting and topped with grated cheese.
Other ensaymadas only use ube jam on one side of the bun. However, Dee’s ensaymadas evenly distribute the ube, ensuring that you get a taste of the yam with every bite.
If you place an order for this, you could never go wrong.
Only Gab’s Premium Ensaymada could create these luscious ensaymadas. Dee is a baking prodigy. His dedication to high-quality goods is evident in every box of ensaymada he ships across Canada and the United States. The slogan “Baked with Sass, Tastes of Class” is accurate in every way.
