It's their local version of chiffon cake roll with ground pili and yema filling in the middle.
Some bakeries sell this in Manila but their version only has buttercream in the middle and the cake itself is covered with sugar. I've tried the ones from Panaderia Pantoja and Fortune Bakeshop but it tastes just like plain mamon.
Still, nothing beats the one from Bicol... really, really yummy! The pili nuts adds twist and flavor to the chiffon roll. Mmmmm!! Hope you get a chance to try this too. :)

oh, ito pala ang pianono.. may ground pili pala sha...masubukan nga.
are there stores here in manila that sell the original kind from bicol?
@ doc gita: parang wala... We order that pa in bicol e! ;) what i saw in here manila (tinapayan bakeshop and fortune bakeshop), their pianono only has whipped cream or margarine filling then rolled in sugar.
I already forgot when was the last time I ate this, i don't even remember if I like it or not.
i think i've tasted one of those before (when we went to Bicol eons ago)...but am not too sure. lol.
ps. such a relief knowing that i can leave comments again...blogging has been acting up lately!
I never knew this delicious thing came from Bicol, my mom is a Bicolano but never tried it from their province. I always try this in Manila, love the taste love the texture!
maiylah: yep, the site was weird last friday.
angsarap: dunno if it originated there but their version (w/ pili) is indeed my fave!! :D
Oh yes, pianono is one of my favourites, too. It's always in our list of meriendas when I used to work in Naga City.
We Ate This!
gusto ko nyan...
i usually eat pianono that are commercially available lang and as you said, buttercream lang ang filling and coated with sugar so reading the bicol version kind of makes me drool, hahaha...
Me too! I never knew Bicol had this! I love Hizon's Pianono, but I don't think they put pili in the filling. But I super love the yema filling they use. :)
@ chief: i think they have this in Dolor's Kakanin (the one who sells yummy sapin sapin) but they call it yema roll? and it's smaller/ cut into bite size pieces.
i love pianono even from our local bakery in our place and you're right buttercream and sugar coating, i'm happy already! hehehe! but didn't know that its originally from bicol, thanks for that info and it would be more great to have the original taste! maybe i can try someday! visiting late from FTF, sorry! anyway, have a great week! :)
would love to taste one. sna meron sa manila...
