'Symphony of flavors': Laufey tries Lumpia, Turon, Puto, more Filipino treats
MANILA, Philippines — Icelandic-Chinese singer Laufey showed her love for all things Filipino anew by trying out another round of local delicacies.
The Gramy-winning artist just finished three sold-out concerts at the Mall of Asia Arena as part of her "A Matter of Time" tour promoting her latest album of the same name.
Laufey recently posted on her TikTok account a video of her after the shows eating local food that she's try during her past three visits to the Philippines.
The singer started with Lumpia from Classic Savory, sharing that the food has been "sitting for a while" because she was onstage, but still described it as "a symphony of flavors" after dipping it in sweet and sour sauce.
Next Laufey pulled out Turon from a nearby mall, though she pointed she was allergic to jackfruit, yet the artist still said it "tasted like heaven."
She then tried branded Chicharon followed by Puto from Goldilock's, quipping after both, "I feel like a fake reviewer, like I have to not like one thing, but that's really hard!"

Laufey next tired Pastillas de Leche which has carabao's milk, and she was informed the carabao was the Philippines' national animal.
The singer compared the rolls of Pastillas to a box of cigars then offered the creamy treat to her personal assistant and companion Carmen.
The two women also took a bite of Ube Ensaymada and were shocked to find it was cheesy rather than sweet.
Last on the video was Lengua de Gato which Laufey urged Carmen to try as well, noting how good it would be with coffee.
"I love you guys so much, this has been so much fun, such a tasty journey. Mahal kita!" Laufey ended.
Laufey in the past has taken videos of herself trying dried mango, banana chips, polvoron, Stik-O, Choc-nut, Ding Dong, Tomi, Cheese Rings and Potchi.
