Kesong puti from KISS AND CRY by MINA V. ESGUERRA 🧀 kilig.pub/six32central2 #RomanceClass

Kesong puti from KISS AND CRY by MINA V. ESGUERRA 🧀

A photo of fried cheese balls is featured on the right with an inset showing sliced kesong puti in its not fried form. Underneath is a quote from the book:

"So what is this?" Ram said, trying a ball of breaded and fried kesong puti and nearly groaning from the pleasure. "Oh shit that's good."

Calinda was smiling at him. "It's a ball of cheese."

"It's a fucking good ball of cheese." The kind of cheese that his Lolo Bert brought back home in tiny stacks wrapped in banana leaves, that he'd have with pandesal. This was a different presentation, but his mouth couldn't tell the difference. "Love this stuff."

Champorado from SECOND WAVE SUMMER by SIX DE LOS REYES, TARA FREJAS, and JAY E. TRIA 🍫 kilig.pub/summercrush2 #RomanceClass

Champorado from SECOND WAVE SUMMER by SIX DE LOS REYES, TARA FREJAS, and JAY E. TRIA

On the right side is a photo of champorado in a bowl with a piece of tuyo on top of it. Underneath a quote from the book:

"I wasn't smiling at you! Maybe I was smiling smiling because of literally anything else. Maybe I had the best champorado I've ever had in my life. Hot, rich cocoa and heavy cream on rice and I'm still enjoying the afterglow!"

"That is fair." What was not, was the reaction she'd drawn from his spine. "The champorado here is good, but it's not that good."

Banana cue from SONGS TO GET OVER YOU (PLAYLIST #2) by JAY E. TRIA 🍌 kilig.pub/playlist2 #RomanceClass

Banana cue from SONGS TO GET OVER YOU (PLAYLIST #2) by JAY E. TRIA 🍌

A photo of sticks of banana cue are featured on the right part of the graphic. Underneath it, a quote from the book:

Miki and Ana went on a banana cue hunt on their own, and the cafeteria at the College of Economics did not disappoint. Miki consumed two sticks, drowned with a can of Coke as Ana combed through each minute of her presentation, picking through things she loved and things she would've changed.

"What is the moral of the story?" Miki spoke through a mouthful of sugared fruit.

"Never take a Marketing class ever again."

Sorbetes from HEARTSTRUCK (FLICKER #1) by ANGELI E. DUMATOL 🍦 kilig.pub/flicker1 #RomanceClass

Sorbetes from HEARTSTRUCK (FLICKER #1) by ANGELI E. DUMATOL 🍦

Photo of ice cream cones featured on the right side of the graphic, together with the following quote from the book:

Sorbetes breaks became something of a regular thing for us, a pick-me-up after a tiring and stressing training session, and we've always had this friendly debate over whose favorite ice cream flavor was the better one.

Theo's partial towards tsokolate, but that's just because he can't be bothered to try any other flavors. Queso is so obviously the best.

Cheese hopia from IF THE DRESS FITS by CARLA DE GUZMAN 🧀 kilig.pub/ifthedressfits #RomanceClass

Cheese hopia from IF THE DRESS FITS by CARLA DE GUZMAN. Photo of cheese hopia is featured on the right, together with a quote from the book:

"Hello, love." He held up the bag to her. "Cheese hopia?"

"You thief," Martha said, taking one and sitting next to him. She bit into the pastry, and the entire thing flaked and crumbled in her mouth. The sharp, salty tang of the cheese was familiar and lovely, and the mix of that with the pastry equaled perfection to her. It was so fresh that it was a little warm, too. "Mmmmm."
