From crispy pastries and assorted small chops to cake parfaits, wedding and birthday cakes, food trays, and richly prepared local delicacies, Hasinga Foods & Confectionaries has become a preferred choice for events and everyday meals alike.

“absolutely delightful,” commending the meals as “tasty, hygienic, and prepared with the touch of love only a passionate cook could provide.”
