Goldilocks’ Polvoron

by Gilian, in category Food, Jeddah, Philippines

In Philippines, I can buy Goldilocks’ polvoron for less than a hundred per dozen. Here, Asian stores repackage the contents, and because this is a rare food to find here, my husband bought a pack for the price of 5 riyals. That’s around 55 pesos for 3 pieces of polvoron! Yikes.
