"I was put in charge of dessert for my family's Chinese New Year gathering last weekend and lucked out when Baking with Ish, a Filipino bakery stall located in the Blossom Market food hall in San Gabriel, had one whole biko pie left. This pie might be the best pie I've ever had: coconut milk-soaked sticky rice sits atop rich dulce de leche in a salted pecan pie crust. The sticky rice filling gets topped with a fluffy mountain"
"of coconut whipped cream and sprinkled with latik, or toasted coconut curds, and flaky salt. Ish's pie gives so much texture to explore through every layer; any time it veers toward being too sweet, salty elements in the crust and flakes on top rein it in. My family loved it so much that we've already ordered an additional two pies for this upcoming weekend."
"In 1985, Julia Child went on Good Morning America and professed her love for Santa Barbara's La Super-Rica Taqueria. Decades later, the unassuming, cash-only taqueria still has the same magic. Look for the white building accented in Baja Blast blue to find La Super-Rica, set on bougainvillea-strewn Milpas Street away from the louder downtown stretch of Santa Barbara. A handful of tacos - filled with adobada, rajas, or bistec - should be a part of every order, along with Super-Rica"
Frequent dining uncovered standout dishes and restaurants across Southern California. Baking with Ish offers a biko pie with coconut milk–soaked sticky rice layered over dulce de leche in a salted pecan crust, finished with coconut whipped cream, latik, and flaky salt that balance sweetness with salty elements in the crust. La Super-Rica Taqueria in Santa Barbara remains a cash-only, unassuming spot beloved since Julia Child praised it, serving tacos such as adobada, rajas, and bistec, plus the Super-Rica Especial: a thick corn tortilla topped with rajas, cheese, and al pastor.
