This New Snack Gives Amber's Famous Pichi Pichi a Crispy Upgrade
Pichi-pichi and turon had a baby and we're all for it.
(SPOT.ph) Soft, chewy, and lightly sweet and nutty thanks to cassava, pichi-pichi is one of those classic Filipino eats we always find ourselves going back to. The steamed, cassava-based kakanin can be had plain or rolled in coconut or cheese—which are always good stuff. But hey, it's 2023, and if you're open-minded enough to welcome change, there's a new kid on the block that reimagines pichi-pichi as a crispier, feistier treat. Meet Amber's new Turon Triangulo.

The famous Amber pichi-pichi goes crispy in these new snacks:
As you can probably guess from the name, the Turon Triangulo (P135/six pieces, P260/12 pieces) takes after turon—the deep-fried snack of bananas or other ingredients in spring-roll wrappers, deep-fried to a crisp and drizzled with burnt sugar. Amber's version, however, instead goes for a triangular shape and stuffing of cheese, ube jam, langka preserves, and their own pichi-pichi!
Not only does the resulting snack-cum-dessert boast an amusing triangular form (dibs on those pointy corners!); they also deliver bites that are crisp and crackly on the inside yet chewy on the inside, with sweetness from the purple yam and jackfruit balanced out with the saltiness of the cheese. It's just the thing to knock back on lazy summer afternoons with an ice-cold bottle of pop.
Amber is a brand of Filipino eats that include savory dishes (like spaghetti!) and sweet delicacies in solo and bilao portions. They've been around since 1988, and remain a potluck and party staple among Filipinos to this day.
