The 17 Best Desserts In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"We've waxed poetic about the excellent Filipino food at this family-run takeout counter in Pasadena before, but as much as we love their sinigang and adobo, there's a reason you'll see a sign counting how many crispy, sticky hand-rolled turon (sweet fried lumpia) they've sold since opening in 1987 (the current tally is closing in on 1 million). The classic banana-filled ones are life-changing, but you'll also want some stuffed with custard, jackfruit, or chocolate. There’s a reason they sell them in boxes of five. Consider their creamy ube flan (available in the cold case) and colorful, carefully layered halo-halo mandatory orders, too." - sylvio martins, cathy park
