When you hear or read the word “Merzci” you will unmistakeably connect it to Bacolod City, the capital of the province of Negros Occidental, which is the Sugarbowl of the Philippines. Although it is based on the French word “Merci” for “thank you”, Merzci is synonymous to sweet treats produced in this province.
Every time I go to Manila, my friends would anticipate eagerly pasalubong or food souvenirs from my hometown. All-time favorites are the napoleones, sweet tarts, piaya, meringue, and all other delicacies that are popular in Bacolod. For a frequent and light traveler like me, I find it very convenient to buy these pasalubongs at the airport, where the Merzci treats seem to be waving attractively at me. But these goodies are not only good for that particular purpose but they can be gifts all-year round for different occasions.
