Otap Wonders

Otap cookies, flaky and sweet

a Pinoy dessert, an extravagant feat.

Baked with love and care,

in each bite, a moment we share.

In the bustling hood of Little Manila, Toronto

or in the suburbs of Little Asia, Markham.

Otap cookies are a comforting sight

radiating good vibes and delight.

Golden brown and fragrant

with a touch so delicate.

Every cookie carefully made by hand,

a depiction of Pinoy culture, their land.

Otap cookies, a taste of home,

doesn’t matter where we may roam.

A piece of their heritage,

in each cookie crumb, a message.

Of family celebrations,

of childhood memories and traditions.

From generation to generation,

Otap cookies, an honourable creation.

Crispy and crunchy, an ideal pair,

with a cup of cocoa, tea, or coffee,

or simply on their own.

Otap cookies, a Pinoy pride

a sense of home; a close guide.
