OMOI is pleased to present the most sumptuous Matcha Lemon Shortbread for your enjoyment, baked exclusively for our shop by the Philly Cookie Company. Its packaging features the word bánh quy bơ — a Vietnamese slang for the French pronunciation of the word biscuit. It's a past influence of French colonization, but a delicious one.
About Philly Cookie Company
Founded in 2021, in the wake of the Covid pandemic, Philly Cookie Company set out with a simple mission: to create incredible Scottish Shortbread using pure butter and natural ingredients.
A Legacy of Flavor
Vietnam's nearly 100-year French colonial past left a lasting mark on its cuisine. French pastries, breads, and, of course, butter, became deeply ingrained in Vietnamese culture. It's no surprise then, that founder and chef, Loc Pham, who immigrated to the US as a child in the early 90s, found American bakery offerings left something to be desired. Back then, pastries and breads often leaned heavily on sweetness and artificial fats. Traditional Shortbread, however, stood out. Its rich, buttery taste sparked a culinary quest to recreate that magic. Countless trials and adjustments later, something even more spectacular emerged: the Philly Cookie Company's Original Scottish Shortbread.
Uniquely Philly
Their take on Scottish Shortbread is a distinct departure from the traditional. Thinner, with a crumbly-crisp texture and a deeper color, it offers a delightful balance of savory and buttery notes. We believe it's truly unique, both in flavor and texture.
