This spring, Filipino mainstay Goldilocks Bake Shop is cooking up an eggs-stravaganza of sweet and savoury options for Easter, featuring a variety of handcrafted confections, Easter egg surprises, and a delicious Silog Brunch for the whole family to enjoy.
Guests can pre-order now for pick-up until March 26, 2024 at one of its two locations: 604-736-7744 in Burnaby or 604-876-2464 in Vancouver, or by emailing goldilocksyvr@gmail.com. Walk-in orders are also available.
“Easter is a time for togetherness, especially in the Philippines, where families and friends would meet-up and feast on meals together, from brunch, dinner, to gifting specialty treats,” says Maj Yee, managing director of Goldilocks Bake Shop Canada. “There will always be an egg dish or two, especially silog – fried garlic and eggs. And of course, fun Easter egg hunts for the kids.”
Goldilocks’ Silog Brunch ($65; feeds 4) features garlic rice, sunny side up eggs, a choice between chicken or pork bbq skewers, longganisa (sweet filipino sausage), bangus (milkfish), and Pan de Leche (sweet milk bread).
For larger groups, the Easter Eats Feast ($120) feeds six and includes: a choice between a small tray of chicken adobo, dinakdakan (grilled pork marinated in vinegar), or menudo (pork stew); a choice between three noodles – Miki Sotanghon, Spaghetti, or Palabok; and a choice between three different empanadas – beef, chicken adobo, or pork; and steamed rice.
Sweet treats include Goldilock’s popular Easter Eggs (from $5.50 for a small to $7.50 for a large), which are hand-decorated with fondant and sugar in a wide variety of soft pastels. Inside, guests can find a fun selection of chocolates and candies.
Mini cakes (from $17), replicating Easter baskets, are great to share with loved ones. Flavours include chocolate with a berry filling and ube. Guests can also pick-up whimsical sugar cookies ($5.50) in bunny and ($4.50) Easter egg designs, as well as the return of Goldilock’s favourite Eggs-saymada ($4), a chocolate ganache filled ensaymada with chocolate eggs.
“Our team always enjoy coming up with fun ideas for Easter – there are so many possibilities when creating desserts by hand. We’re especially proud of our Easter basket cakes this year – you’ll want to pick one up!” adds Yee.
