![]() Since I have only tried maybe three Sans Rivals in my life, I was not about to call myself any sort of “expert”. ![]() It turns out that he was and he was the Sans Rival guy from Surrey! Well what do you know?! Small world! You have no idea how excited I was and I think my reply back had a million exclamation points. He told me a bit about his dad’s passion which turned into a business and I couldn’t help but to ask if his dad was from Surrey. ![]() Long story short he ended up e-mailing me and offering me a Sans Rival to try. I ended up tweeting about the Sans Rival that night and then one of my Twitter “followers” tweeted back saying his dad made the best Sans Rival. Apparently the cake has passed all the standards of her family and the Filipino community. Being Filipino and a baker herself, with family that can also bake, I trusted her recommendation. She had my full attention and I was determined to find “Surrey’s Secret Sans Rival Guy”. She said you had to call this guy to place an order and that it was a home business operation. She said it’s where the Filipino community orders their Sans Rival from and that he was the guy who makes it the best. Filipinos know how to bake, just like they know how to sing and dance… stereotyping? Yes I am, but it comes from some “truth”.Īnyway I started talking about Sans Rival and how I enjoyed them and then she started talking about some “Sans Rival Guy” in Surrey. I visited the Philippines a few years ago and realized that bake shops and bakeries were a huge part of their food culture. I was talking with one of the featured home bakers who happened to be Filipino and we started gushing about Filipino desserts. It all started at Indulge N’ Dance, a dessert party I attended a few months ago. It’s totally not an exclusive “hipster” thing either! These places want to be known and these home cooks and bakers just want to share their food and passion. You have to be in “the know” to know about them. All these tiny home operations that you can only discover through word of mouth. It was another one of those secret places like Baba’s Perogies. **Recommendations: Sans Rival Follow Me Foodie to “Surrey’s Secret Sans Rival Guy” Price range: $30 half order for 12 ppl, $50 full order for 24 ppl 1: Poor 2: OK 3: Good 4: Very good 5: Excellent 6: FMF Must Try!
