Checking out B Sweet Dessert and Big Boi by Chef Barb Batiste has been on my list for quite awhile now. Unfortunately with the current stay at home order a visit to the West LA restaurant will need to wait. Fortunately however there is Postmates and they are offering delivery nationwide some Big Boi’s popular and famous Filipino butters!

Currently Big Boi has three flavors for their Filipino butters. They’ve got Buko Pandan, Ube and Ensaymada.

Buko Pandan consists of Buko which is the Tagalog name for young coconut. For this Filipino butter they paired it with the leaves of the Pandan plant thus giving it a sweet vanilla like aroma. For Buko Pandan Filipino butter; Big Boi has strips of coconut mixed in with a sweet creamy butter.

Ube is the famous Filipino yam with a light, sweet potato taste. This also has sweet hints of coconut and vanilla. Big Boi took the purple yam and made it into a nice, rich butter with sweet hints of coconut and vanilla. It tastes just like ube dessert.

Ensaymada is soft, sweet Filipino pastries that Filipinos often enjoy for breakfast or holidays. It is typically topped with butter, sugar and cheddar cheese. For this Filipino butter, Big Boi took the taste of the Filipino pastries and incorporated right into a butter spread.

These butters are perfect on pan de sal, crackers and pretty much anything you put it on. It’s so masarap (That’s the Tagalog word for delicious!)

It’s definitely hard for me to pick which one is my favorite! I first tried the Ensaymada and absolutely loved the buttery, cheesy taste. I next tried the Buko Pandan and instantly became a fan of the coconut strips. Lastly I tried the ube and was ecstatic with the purple yam flavor that reminded me so much of traditional Filipino desserts.

I highly recommend these Filipino butters! They are perfect for some yummy treats while we all stay at home. To order, please see the Big Boi website. Deliveries go out every Wednesday. The Filipino Butters are offered as Filipino Butter Jar sampler with all three flavors or as a 3 pack of your favorite flavor. 3 packs start at $30.
