Grub Street Diet: Abi Balingit
New York Magazine, March 2023
Monthly commission featuring Abi Balingit, author of MAYUMU: FILIPINO AMERICAN DESSERTS REMIXED!
In her Grub Street Diet, she describes her journey of eating such delicious foods as: Lady Wong Pastry Cakes’ Rainbow Lapis, a beautifully colorful, chewy and bouncy layered steamed cake flavored with coconut and pandan - a very popular childhood dessert in Southeast Asia (ladywong.com); home-cooked Spamsilog, a classic Filipino breakfast or brunch; Gushers, an all-time favorite American candy; Pork Roll Egg & Cheese from Greenberg’s Bagels on Bedford Ave. in Brooklyn; and lastly, Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bars.
