In 2010, Goldilocks underwent a full re-branding.

The naming was suggested by the founders' sister Maria Flor. The name also suggests the words 'gold' and 'luck' which was viewed to be auspicious by the founders. Goldilocks Bakeshop was named after Goldilocks, a character from the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears to make the name of the chain easier to remember by children and their mothers.

In 2019, it was reported that there are at least 400 full-service stores in the Philippines, 6 in Thailand, 10 in California and 1 in Nevada, United States, and 2 in Canada. Pancake House offered to acquire Goldilocks for ₱2 billion. Pancake House International planned to acquire Goldilocks Bakeshop, but negotiations to acquire the bakeshop chain fell in 2006. Other stores were later set up in other parts of California such as San Francisco, San Jose, and in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 1991, Goldilocks launched a franchising program which led to the opening of hundreds of Goldilocks' store in Metro Manila. In 1976, Goldilocks opened its first store in the United States in Los Angeles. On May 15, 1966, Chinese Filipino sisters, Milagros Leelin Yee and Clarita Leelin Go, and their sister-in-law Doris Wilson Leelin, opened the first Goldilocks store on a 70 m 2 (750 sq ft) space on the ground floor of a three-story building along Pasong Tamo Street in Makati and started with only 10 employees. History Food products for sale on display in a Goldilocks outlet Filipino food is not as well known as other Asian fare like Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese but it's fair and there.Goldilocks Bakeshop is a bakery chain based in the Philippines, which produces and distributes Philippine cakes and pastries. There's no Houston Filipino restaurant as excellent as San Diego's Maharlika (but try and see if anyone can get good AUTHENTIC Pakistani, Indian and Cajun food in San Diego!).nonetheless Houston's got some choices there compared to most other metros in the US. It can consist of beef, pork and usually dark meat chicken that is sauted in a soy sauce base. Lastly, the national dish of the Philippines is called adobo.

Though I like lumpia better than the Chinese or Viet counterparts, it's deep fried in spades, so that's a health caveat. Lumpia is loaded with ground beef with slivers of carrots and other veggies, sometimes raisins (yuck, good with Raisin Bran but not with egg rolls!). Noodles are called 's not too different than the Chinese version, though I like the Chinese style better.Įgg rolls are called lumpia, and they've got a thinner wrapper compared to the thicker Viet and Chinese stuff. Keeps you full longer than Vietnamese pho. There's the beef, pork and seafood that has some tamarind in the stock. The sinigang soup is the best, healthwise. It's a bit spicy, cooked straightforward, with some grease. It's actually quite tasty but hard on the arteries. The rich stuff is kare-kare, slowly cooked pork hocks in a type of peanut butter sauce. It can be greasy and rich.yet there's the 'clean' stuff, like soups. And there's maybe one more in the NW side that I'm missing, I'm sure.įilipino food is sort of Asian soul food, a mix of Spanish, Chinese, the native Malay and a dash of American influences. Sweets N More, now with a new name that I can't recall (on Bellaire, east of Synott).Īnd there are like three more near Kemah/Clear Lake whose names I can't remember. Go-Do, formerly Gold Basket (on Fannin in the Med Center environs) Tuff Pinoy (Veteran's Memorial somewhere) Pampanga's Finest (Veteran's Memorial somewhere) Sammy's Bakery (mostly breakfast stuff but it's on Bissonnet/between Boone and Kirkwood)

I read that even Seattle with its good size Pinoy population has 'only' six Filipino restaurants. Sometimes, I wish Filipinos in Houston could put that in perspective. OK, so Houston's not San Diego when it comes to Filipino food.but H-town sure is way better than Cincinnati (presumably), Boston (I heard there's only one Filipino restaurant there), Miami, Tampa, Phoenix, Indianapolis, New Orleans and a bunch of other great cities in America.
