Not bad. I like the taste
weee.16792816
It’s tasty but don’t expect it will puff and grow big as you cook it like the ones we’re used to in the Philippines. It actually deflates and gets chewier as it gets cooler.

Goldilocks Empanada Chicken Turnover- first time buy; First time to microwave it from frozen too. I did 3 pcs first. Instruction says 1-2min until filling is hot. So i microwaved for 1.45 min. Tasted good and crispy enough.. almost like the same you order take out! .. Bitin, so i microwaved another piece for 1 min.. got a lil bit dry.. maybe will adjust to 30-45 seconds if microwaving only 1 piece only next time. Will update once i consume the rest of the package. But so far its good!
