When I was a kid, Daddy would always travel to Manila (from Davao) for business trips. Some trips would be as short as 1 day, some would last a week. But everytime he’d go home, he would bring pasalubong. Most of those trips, he would bring home a Goldilocks Roll. Sometimes there would be a box of Polvoron or packs of Popcorn. You see, there aren’t any Goldilocks branches here in Davao. Not until a few years ago.
Even just looking at a Goldilocks’ display case brings me to those days when we’d wait for Daddy to arrive at the gate, lugging around his suitcase, and a Goldilocks bag. We’d never know what he’d bring, but there’d always be some Goldilocks. Sometimes it would be a Chocolate Roll, other times, Ube. I’m sure there were other flavors, but these two are the ones I distinctly remember.
