The Kakanin Selection: So Many Options
Their kakanin selection is wide — you can really tell they’re serious about it.
Palitaw (My Favorite!)
This one was a highlight for me. Soft, chewy, and satisfying — perfect if you want something light but still filling. The texture was on point, and it had that classic palitaw comfort.
Sapin-Sapin (Good, But One Small Letdown)
Sapin-sapin is one of my all-time favorites, so I was excited… but I’ll be honest:
I was a bit disappointed because it didn’t have the usual latik.
Still, the sapin-sapin itself was decent — soft and flavorful — but that latik really completes the experience, so I missed that.
Not Too Sweet (Which I Loved!)
One thing I genuinely appreciated is that their kakanin wasn’t overly sweet.
You know how some kakanin can be sugar overload? Here, the sweetness was more balanced — sakto lang, which made it easier to enjoy multiple pieces without feeling umay. Jaltan Food Centrum
Perfect Pairing: Café Americano (₱70!)
And the best part? Their café americano is super affordable at ₱70 per cup.
Pairing kakanin with coffee just makes sense — it balances everything out and makes the whole snack experience feel complete.
If you’re the type who enjoys kakanin as merienda with coffee, this combo is sulit in Jaltan Food Centrum.
Service: Polite and Efficient
The staff were also polite and helpful — quick service, no attitude, and very accommodating even with the karinderya-style ordering.
Final Verdict: Great for Kakanin Cravings
If you want a place with a wide selection of kakanin, a simple ordering setup, and affordable coffee, Jaltan Food Centrum is worth checking out.
⭐ Best picks: Palitaw + Sapin-sapin
✅ Not too sweet
✅ Budget-friendly coffee (₱70 americano!)
✅ Polite staff
✅ Great merienda stop
Just note: I hope they add latik to their sapin-sapin in the future, because that would make it even better.
Overall: Sulit, comforting, and perfect for kakanin lovers. ✔️🍡☕
