Eating fresh pineapple just would not be complete without dipping it in a bit of salt. Cheese ice cream, a cringe worthy idea for some, has always had a special place in the Filipino dessert-dom. Can you imagine ensaymada with just sugar?
These and more show how we’ve enjoyed as a people that sweet/salty combination that is still alien in some parts of the world.
And now, certain restaurants are catching up to this concept. Sydney Morning Herald has written an article about it titled Salt for my Sweet.
This is a pretty good idea for a challenge. Salt in desserts… any takers?
Life is sweeter indeed with salt!

I agree! A little bit of salt brings out the other flavors so much more. I've seen and heard so much about salted caramels but I think I'd opt for ensaymada, puto bumbong or bibingka with queso de bola any day of the week!
Totally agree!!
Tangled Noodle - I totally agree! Apart from cheese us pinoys use "salted eggs/red eggs" in desserts...
Hello there Joelen!
Balance is the key!

Hello there Edik!
Di ba pag "ispaysyal" may itlog?
Bibingka, puto, even ensaymada sometimes have "salted eggs" as toppings instead of or added to the cheese?

Anyway, just thought of another filipino salty/sweet favorite: sweetcorn shake : ).
