Philippine Airlines (PAL), the flag carrier of the Philippines, just turned 84 years old — wow, that’s super old! To celebrate, they made special desserts just for their passengers flying to certain places like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and more.
These aren’t just any desserts — they’re bite-sized Filipino favorites made with love and care to show off the best of Filipino flavors. 
What’s on the Dessert Plate?
PAL created a Trio Bite-Sized Dessert Plate (that means 3 small treats on one plate). Let’s break it down:
-
Leche Flan with Cantaloupe Syrup
Leche Flan is a sweet, soft dessert made with eggs, milk, and sugar — like a wiggly caramel pudding! But PAL made it extra special by adding cantaloupe syrup (melon juice), white chocolate on top, and mango under the flan. Yum! -
Southern Chocolate Ganache Cake Slice
This is a rich, chocolatey cake made with chocolate from Davao, a place in the Philippines that grows really good cacao beans (the stuff chocolate is made from). It’s soft, smooth, and super tasty! -
Pacencia with Mango Butter Cream
Pacencia are little round cookies that are crunchy and sweet. PAL made theirs fancy — they filled them with a creamy mango spread made from the sweetest mangoes in the world (from the Philippines of course!). They even look like tiny macarons!
Where Can You Get These Treats?
If you’re flying business class with PAL to the USA (like LA, New York), you can enjoy this trio of desserts. You can also pick a Filipino favorite called Halo-Halo (a cold dessert with shaved ice, sweet fruits, and milk), a cheese platter, or ice cream.
Flying to Honolulu or Australia? No worries! You’ll still get a big slice of the chocolate cake, cheese, or ice cream.
Why Are These Desserts Special?
These desserts are more than just food — they are made with love to thank passengers and celebrate PAL’s long journey of 84 years in the sky. They show off the flavors of the Philippines so people around the world can enjoy and learn more about Filipino culture through food.
