For those whose childhood was spent part in buying candies out of your school gates, you probably had shelled out a dime for the famed pick-and-lick tamarind rolled in white sugar packed in orange water cellophane, have you? That ‘sampalok’ candy is just few of the sweet icons of my childhood that have lived until this very day.
But I guess its going to change for convenience sake, I’m loving this sweetie/hottie, I found this at Victoria Dept. Store here in Davao but they’re probably all over. It’s sweet, chewy and has this spicy bite, it’s not messy, no worries of being yelled at by mom for leaving the wrapper in your bed, no sleeping with little red armies too, hehehe love it as a brain tonic while thinking of what to type next … this small canister is only P37.

I love Tamarind candy! My cousin’s family in Valencia used to be making it as their business and it was big. Customer nila kay mga dagku nga department store jud sa Mindanao. Too bad it went bankrupt kay ang bana nangabit man. A year ago, my cousin passed away and I can never forget the sampalok candies they used to make. I’d love to try this one someday!
Late BPC 82 hop.
