​Cebu has numerous delicacies that have tickled the taste buds of residents and visitors alike. Some of these popular delicacies available in Cebu are the Peanut Browas, Butterscotch, and Toasted Mini Mamons, among others. The recipes of some of these delicacies have been passed on from one generation to another. There are also some delicacies that are relatively new, but have caught the fancy of locals and tourists. One of these delicacies is the buko pie of San Fernando.

San Fernando

San Fernando was once a part of Naga before it was established as a separate town through a royal decree in 1858. This southern town is home to a number of resorts and tourist spots, including the Hidden Paradise Mountain Resort, Singli Mountain Resort, and the Bacalla Campsite.

Buko Pie of San Fernando

The buko pie of San Fernando is not the usual buko pie you may find in supermarkets and groceries in the city. While these delicacies are smaller than the usual buko pie, they taste as good, if not better than the ones you normally see in the city. They are made using young coconut meat, and are typically sold hot and fresh.

​The main ingredient of the buko pie is sourced from Barangay Ilaya in San Fernando. Since they are smaller, they are wrapped individually and sold in boxes containing ten pieces. You can also buy them individually. Residents of this southern Cebu town supposedly started selling the buko pie after someone brought the recipe for this delectable delicacy from Laguna. They started making their own buko pies and it has become one of the sources of income for the people of San Fernando.
