A very silly question for the lovely Signora Paola: Describe the Philippine Yema for the foreign lurkers of this blog.

Ah, yes. The yema. Like plenty of our native delicacies, the name has a Spanish origin (meaning “yolk”). It is a custard candy made of egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk usually shaped like a triangle as seen above. The taste is so popular there are actually yema cakes and even yema-filled buns. Being that it’s a Philippine delicacy, the sweetness of the condensed milk isn’t enough; we need to add more sugar in there. If you want a real sugar high in one bite, then get one of these.

If any one of our Assassins (and Templars) get to taste one of these it would be interesting to see who among them would love or hate it.
