The Best Buko Pie in Laguna, Philippines

[@nic0belle]

thank you for trying lety’s buko pie! 🥧 that’s my lola lety 💛 miss her so much. lots of love from canada!

[@wennie217]

Team Lety’s!

[@GKBarlahan]

its goodddd i wish can bring some here in the states

[@rogercabrillos8145]

magkano po ang isa

[@virgiliotwanio7917]

This letys buco pie i taste in Laguna , is the most favorite of mine, because they never change all the ingredients, especially the buckos so generous of all the fillings.

[@listgirl]

I'm from Laguna, lived in Los Baños for 4+ year, and am Team Lety's! But want to try El Mare and especially Platefully someday because of this video.

We live in London but every time we visit the Philippines we always buy The Original Buco Pie. But this video makes me want to try the other Buco pies now. Thank you for doing this.

Pag napadaan kayo ng los baños at bibili kayo ng buko pie. Tanungin nyo mga taga los baños kung anong buko pie sa los baños ang masarap 9/10 sagot nila letys. Walang sinbi original. im from los baños laguna

[@paolamarcaida1473]

Yup, The Original is also the preferred buko pie by locals here. I'm from Los Banos :)

[@arielreuben1908]

Lety's buko pie is a must try.

Masarap din yung original buko pie sa anos

[@arielreuben1908]

yup Lety's is the best for me also.

[@Tatay-Mong-Kalbo]

To each his own. I live in Laguna and I have always preferred The Original. It basically just tastes like buko and nothing else stands out. You should try Sheila's Buko Pie which is a short drive away from The Original, they have one of the finest pies in Laguna and then some.

[@yrNs-bh2lo]

The original buko pie...😛.They are cheating, I tasted recently their version and it tasted artificial sweeteners ( sucralose). Their products needs to be investigated by the FDA tested for artificial sweeteners... I puked after one bite of their buko pie. You should be ashamed to call it the best buko pie,,To me its the WORST.. ITS NEXT TO GARBAGE....

[@yengsabio5315]

Shiela's my top choice! Next is Letty's. I adore Shiela's macapuno-ube pie! Fits my taste very well.

[@Tatay-Mong-Kalbo]

@@yrNs-bh2lo You're the one who should be ashamed, thinking that your opinion is the end all and be all of food tasting. The first sentence of my personal opinion qualifies my statement as my own - one man's trash (or garbage) is another man's treasure, although in your case, everything seems like garbage/trash, including your lack of online etiquette.

[@sofia_calista]

@@yrNs-bh2lo you must be confused he's talking about orient's not colettes.

[@sofia_calista]

same. orient's or sheila's. lety's too sweet for my liking.

[@F3bs12]

El Mare number 1! My late father really loves their buko pie and he said the taste didn't change since the first time he tried it.

[@pagaspasdimangan5866]

Lety's! The best para sa mga taga up elbi! 💕💕

[@charise.a]

I agree with the Platefully review -- best tasting crust with great texture & holds the filling well. Crust pa lang, masarap na! Also, love these travel/food vlogs of Martin. More please!

[@lancepagtakhan19]

as someone from laguna, iba parin ang the originals from childhood to adulthood same parin ang lasa

[@ELEKTRARE]

Martin is awesome always warm , genuine , smiling ☺️ & very good cook 👨‍🍳 yaaaaaaaaasssss

[@jonalabor8460]

my tito always tell us about El mare. When they went to Quezon..actually nadaanan nila Laguna and bought El mare. After that, they keep coming back every time madaan sa Laguna. We bought 10 boxes when we went to San Pablo..damn it was the best. Actually one of my fav next to Buko pie somewhere in Pangasinan.

[@myrnacarbonell7722]

We always go to Lety’s buko pie when we visit Laguna. Their pies have a lot of buko compared to others where they have a lot of flour in it. I even bring them back to the US.

[@anya2152]

Yes!! Platefully's crust is the star. Super buttery and flaky. The crust's above par quality elevates buko pie eating experience. The filling, on the other hand, is very refreshing. The coconut meat is soft at hindi talaga tinipid. It's quite an underrated buko pie shop, pero it tastes so good!!

[@llanamaguyon1603]

saraaaaap na-miss ko bigla ang buko pie sa phils…tried them all…super sarap lahat ng buko pie sa laguna…kanya-kanyang preference lang yan…part 2 please? galing ni martin congrats 👏🏼🙌🏼👍🏼

[@josephinesicam8669]

Masarap talaga ang letys buko pie, hindi matamis hindi matabang. Masarap ang custard nya. Yummy talaga. Number one 👍😋

[@CBD7069..]

You deserve an award for eating buko pie. Everything looks delicious. Loved the episode. Also need to get my hands on some of that vacuum packed Lety’s buko pie.

[@lykazulueta5796]

This series with chef martin ang for sure aabangan ko. I really enjoyed watching you chef. El mare and the original buko pie for me is the best.

[@ceresluzarraga9471]

Laguna's Buko Pie. Brings back so many fond memories. It's yummy.

[@featrmedia]

Pasalubongs!

[@bugzylosantos2711]

Laguna's best, proud Laguneño here. Appetizing best buko pie in the neighborhood, fresh oven baked crunchy thin and flaky crust on the outside, soft moist and creamy with balance sweet custard filling and thick but tender young coconut meat inside...

[@akosipalpogi]

You got all what I think are the best buko pie in the PH! Kudos to your researchers ☺️ 1. Lety’s for their BIG filling and right sweetness. 2. Original’s for that familiar and nostalgic taste. 3. El Mare for that creative punch (I like their ube macapuno pie more than their buko pie, as San Pablo is known more for their ube than their buko). I also like their ‘panadas’ (chicken empanadas). Hopefully will be able to try Platefully, as their crusts looks so good ☺️

[@rodaxel7165]

Sarap tulungan si Chef Martin kumain ng Buko Pie. Also the way he was holding the coconuts. 😂 Slick.

[@geor6iana]

In Chef Martin, we trust! Makes me want to try El Mare’s.

[@anaamante5570]

As someone from Los Baños, team lety’s!!!!! 🥰😍 i

[@catme.7]

Our clan would always have an annual swimming at Los Baños, Laguna and when it's almost time to go back home (we live in Rizal), my mom and grandmother would always wait in line at the Original Buko Pie. Its been sort of a tradition already that we keep up to this day even though grandma passed away a few years ago.

[@celiaogbonna3343]

Original Buko Pie is my first choice. Mitz and Letty's are also good.

[@vincentnin1]

thanks for coming. haha :)

[@angelocastillo3584]

I remember driving to los baños to get original buko pie for pasalubong and drove straight to the airport to catch my flight. Thanks for the vid, now I think tagaytay is more accessible than goin to los baños.

[@shiesadventures1028]

Ahha yes this is the best buko pie ..nakakamiss sarap ng buko pie.. share naman Jan ..

[@analisamartesano3365]

My home town, Los Baños, everytime nagbabakasyon ako. Hindi nawawala ang buko pie sa mga titikman ko uli

[@beatricecarpio7717]

We live in los banos laguna and we're lety's!!!! Woot woot All of our relatives who came from abroad tasted lety's and they compared it with the original's.. they prefer lety's talaga

[@yrNs-bh2lo]

Certainly the original buko pie has degraded as its artificially sweetened with sucralose..

[@iamkathernandez]

I studied at UPLB and best Buko Pies are Lety’s and Sheila’s!!! 😋🥧

[@edithavictorio6515]

Ito ang lagi kong inuuwi sa Ilocos plus tung espasol nila. Nag-uuwi din ako ng The Original. Maganda kung maraming pamimilian mas maraming tao ang ma-cater. Hindi jadi pare-pareho ang panlasa ng tao. Yung buko pie sa Vizcaya, i-cover mo din. The best yun!!!

[@hongkong4719]

Miss you Martin.more vlogs FEATR from this man please.nakaka good vibes

[@edmundcasey7765]

LOOKS APPETIZING!!!. . . JUST AMAZINGLY GOOD

[@pinaytunay]

back in the 90s when we bring our students for field trip in laguna, the original buko pie is a must pasalubong. and that's like every quarter of the year for many years. i have tasted colletes and lety's but i still prefer the original. quite recently, i went to laguna and made it sure that we swing by the original buko pie. but to my surprise, it didnt taste the same anymore. i find the crust a little salty, and there are less buco fillings. what a bummer!

[@theunsolicited2cents893]

Try it again. Lined up last week and it did taste the same again. Had to get 8 boxes home.

[@QueenofDarkestSpring]

Have always been fond of Letty's bukod pie, but since this video, I seemingly wanted to try El Mare's and the one from Platefully. Thank you for the recommendations!

[@combocreator1595]

Here in Laguna, we really prefer Lety’s over original for pasalubong in other places. We even request a special packaging so we can give this as a pasalubong to the US

[@yrNs-bh2lo]

You are right, the original is now a fake adulterated buko pie, using artificial sweeteners instead of sugar..

[@krissiaaseoche3383]

Hello ano po yung special packaging na nirerequest nyo? Nag try kame magdala po dito sa US and napanis siya. Thank you

[@yengsabio5315]

Shiela's macapuno-ube pie is top-notch! You can find Shiela's in Maahas, Los Baños, just along Manila South Road.

[@crimsonphantom2696]

Agree with this. I also like their buko pie.

[@mynameishappy6543]

Second to this, I grew up in Los Baŋos and Shiela’s the best for their generous buko filling and cheese on top.

[@blackandwhitemanila]

El Mare's my all-time fave. I've tried everything here except for Mintz. El Mare's my favorite especially their custard. You'll like it if you love sweet and creamy fillings like me. Although I noticed mas konti na yung buko nila the last time I bought one. Sana next time more buko please. 😊

[@freshtart5465]

People from Laguna (including me) seems to gravitate more to Letty's. I could eat the whole pie. People outside of Laguna will almost always gravitate to The Original because of the hype and visible long lines. Solid team Letty's here. Haven't tried El Mare though. I want to try the El Mare's someday.

[@mitchdep]

You failed to mention that the Los Baños Original is the original because they actually invented buko pie and people of Los Baños take pride in this. However, Letty's, is a local favorite, Original is still the most popular. There are others like Sheila's that are great too. Buko pie tasting like leche flan? Is actually sacrilege. Haha. If you want the leche flan taste, then eat leche flan. In Buko pie, as one of your subjects said, buko is the star. Even the crust must be almost bland so as not to interfere with the buko custard taste. Of course to each his own. Heck, my wife bakes a wonderful buko pie herself! Cheers!

[@alicenaguinlin1804]

True!

[@paolamarcaida1473]

Totally agree. Haha. Sana leche flan nalang kinain niya instead of buko pie, if lasang leche flan pala hinahanap niya. It's like trying different versions of fried chicken, yet you choose Chicken A because it tastes like pork. Haha

[@CrossCuntyRic]

Actually i read somewhere na mas nauna ang Lety’s than Orient. Sila actually ang original makers ng buco pies dating back to the 70’s. Anybody can claim to be the original buco pie store after all pero in its current form nauna Lety’s.

[@usiserongtambay]

Agreed 💯

[@jangjiyoo]

@@CrossCuntyRicThis is true. Anyone who is from elbi knows na nauna ang Lety's. A lot of friends from elbi prefer Lety's buko pie, and I prefer that as well.

[@yrNs-bh2lo]

Have you tasted their recent version? Have you not noticed it does not taste the same as I previous years..?

[@kyungsooh]

@@yrNs-bh2lo Yes every year I get to taste it, and to me, it's still the same one that I grew up eating :) And when I meant my childhood, it's not just the taste but also the overall look of it, and the memories it brings.

The best buko pie was when I was riding the bus from the provinces to Manila. It was my first time home from the US. I was adventurous and wanted to take the bus to Manila instead of hiring a driver. En route to Manila the bus stopped and a man got on the bus selling Buko Pie. It was an incredible treat to get Buko Pie served hot while riding the bus into the city.

I love baking pies. But I have yet to bake a buko pie with a real custard that would complement the soft, young and tender meat of the buko. I don't have a good recipe yet. Which is why I continue to experiment with the filling more than the crust since I still employ my recipe for western-style pie crusts to buko pies I have baked in the past.
