It was indeed like a "feast of flavors from around the world" at Shang GourmetFest Media Launch last October 17 at Shangri-La Plaza's Grand Atrium
It was wonderful to discover that Pepi Cubano has a branch at the third level of the mall. The first time I tasted Pepi Cubano was at their branch in Glorietta
I love their pressed sandwich which starts out like a regular baguette or sub. It comes out as a much slimmer version of itself, crusty and fun to eat.

What is a cubano?
The Food
I have tasted their Pepi Cubano P250 which had roast pork and ham, before. I loved that they brushed a lot of butter on the bread before they press it thus its crusty exterior.
My daughter and I also tasted their Cigarro Cubanos P50 which is reminiscent of our very own turon with but with nutella.
Some branches that are open for sit down dining offer rice toppings, desserts and even alcohol and cocktails
Branches
Currently Pepi Cubano has branches in Glorietta, Shangri-La Plaza, SM Megamall, Robinson's Galleria, UP Town Center, Trinoma, SM North Edsa, Robinson's Place Manila and Uptown Mall.
