Sambo Kojin Buffet Collab in SM Southmall
Sambo Kojin Buffet Collab with Dads, Saisaki, and Kamayan
It was my brother and sister's birthday celebration and they wanted to eat at a buffet. Sambo Kojin has been a popular buffet place even before the pandemic and since most of us haven't tried Sambo Kojin before, we thought it was the best time to try it. As I checked their Facebook page, they were also offering a buffet collaboration with Dads, Saisaki, and Kamayan meaning when you add P130 per person to your buffet price, you get access to more food variants from the mentioned restaurants. So we paid Php 988 per person which we thought was a good price for a buffet.
Short Review of Balai Palmera's Buko Pie
I've been eating buko pies since I was a kid because my relatives would always bring home buko pies as a pasalubong whenever they'd been out of town. I actually made a blog post one time about Loumars and Bag of Beans that my sister brought home years ago. I was never a big fan of buko pies, but I would eat them when I see them. I actually find it hard to match with any drinks probably because of the heavy feeling that the coconut brings to my tummy. But still, I'd enjoy a slice, especially during merienda or snack time.
Now, I've been given an opportunity to review a new buko pie in town, more specifically it's from the town of Silang, Cavite. The store's name is called Balai Palmera or Balai Palmera Restaurant and Pasalubong, and they were generous enough to let me try their new buko pie.
The Buko Pie
Each slice is really filled with fresh, thick coconut slices with coco cream filling, and they're covered in a soft and semi-crunchy crust and flaky top. The store also claims that its buko pies stand out from the rest because of their creaminess.
The Taste
It actually does taste like an extra creamy buko pie. I love the generous amount of coconut meat inside, but somehow the cream is overpowering the coconut flavor that I was looking for. So if you love a creamy treat, then this buko pie might win your heart. I was able to eat two slices in one sitting so I still liked it.
Where to Buy
Balai Palmera is located in Silang, Cavite. You may also reach them through their Facebook page for any inquiries.
