Strolling down Tinapay memory lane
There’s a bakeshop called Tulips near my grandparents’ place. When we were kids, my sisters and I loved their Egg Pie, Pineapple Pie, hot Pan de Sal and Kababayan. We also indulged in Pan de Coco and that bread in the picture with the red filling (is it really called Pan de Regla?).
Upon waking up from our afternoon naps, Maymee (our grandma) would make us cups of hot cocoa. The dining table would be filled with the different merienda fare from Tulips. I loved grabbing a piece of Pan de Sal and dunking it (or as we call it “dudok”) in our chocolate drink. Yum.
Whenever the aroma of freshly baked bread fills my senses, I’m transported back to this part of my childhood. Isn’t it wonderful how our sense of smell acts as a time machine? All it takes is a trip past a bakery and I’m six years old again.

jojo: Spanish Bread from Fortune Bakeshop! The best!

pan de regla, he he he. funny name.
I’m a bread person. Anything basta bread, I’ll eat it. This one from Fortune bakeshop I really love, yung ensaymadang round. I think tag 40 pesos plus cya. Ung maraming cheese sa ibabaw. sarap

uhmmm, pan de regla? what a unique name…kakatuwa talaga tayong mga pinoy, galing nating magbigay ng names. tones, do you have any idea how much is a pan de sal nowadays? when i was a kid, mama would send me to a panaderya to buy two pesos worth of pandesal, they’re as big as my fist and cost 10 cents each..ngayon kaya?

we used to frequent a bakery called tulips in project 6. although i have already forgotten the names of the bread and pastries there, i still remember the smell and taste of their goodies. it was so yummy and delicious.

jeanny: Hindi naman ensaymada yun? O baka cheese roll ang tawag. Whatever it is, sounds yummy!
misis14: Tulips in Project 6 is EXACTLY the shop I was referring to!
anna: May P1 pan de sal pero sobrang liit na nito! Wala na yatang bababa sa piso eh.

i love pandesal!!! here at the office, we have a regular friday thing, wherein an officemate would buy us all pandesal and we’d all eat breakfast together. sobrang ok na bonding moments between officemates before we embark on another stressful workday.

hindi ko nakahiligan ang tinapay pero kumakain naman ako kapag mayroon. at gustong-gusto ko ang sikat na sikat na nilalakong monay sa UP diliman. hehehe:) natikman mo na ba ‘yun?:)

you know the cakes usually sold in such bakeries? yung parang heavy-handed sa butter yung buttercream icing?
my officemate said they’d usually buy such a cake… and since nobody really wants all that icing, they’d scrape it off and chill it..
then they’d use it as spread later for pandesal… its like a sweetened margarine thing that they love daw at home
November 22nd, 2005 at 1:21 pm
diane: saan sa UP yan!?
mec: wow! artery blockage alert! hehehe. pero parang masarap!
November 22nd, 2005 at 1:39 pm

November 22nd, 2005 at 5:52 pm
ey toni! nagutom ako sa mga tinapay na yan. naisip ko tulo ang pan de coco at kababayan na hilig kong kainin nung bata pa ako. ka-miss ang mga neighborhood bakery ano. iba ang luto nila kesa sa mga uso ngayong “bakery.”
November 22nd, 2005 at 7:42 pm
nagkita pala kami ni suplada at yong baby charlie nya.
bread naku.. am carbo addict my fave din sa pasig every afternoon when my lola gives me the money pag merienda

November 22nd, 2005 at 7:43 pm
liza: oo iba ang charm ng mga dating bakery. baka naman kasi tumatanda na tayo? hehe.
sha: nagkita kayo? aliw! next time tayo naman magkita. pianono yes, masarap din yun!
November 22nd, 2005 at 7:58 pm
Favorite ko yang Pan de Regla. Pero di ko alam na yan ang tawag dun. Hehe. Masarap yung ganyan sa Pantoja. Meron din sa Blue Kitchen pero malay ko kung masarap. Mahal eh.
November 23rd, 2005 at 12:59 am
anong klaseng bread yung kababayan? i haven’t heard of that before?
November 23rd, 2005 at 10:33 am
Chel: Hehe ako rin di pa nakaka-try sa Blue Kitchen kasi mahal nga! Meron naman ng pan de regla sa neighborhood bakery so parehas lang yun!
cathy: It’s a Pinoy bread that’s shaped like a cupcake and tastes a little bit sweet… di ko ma-describe! Pero lahat yata ng bakery may kababayan so better try it nalang
I’m at a loss for words describing it!
November 24th, 2005 at 1:29 am
toni girl, kahit saan sa UP. mayroon sa FC (cal bldg.) at AS. marami ding naglalako. ‘yung mga nakabisekleta. tanungin mo lang sa mga estudyante saan may monay, i’m sure merong malapit anywhere.:)
November 24th, 2005 at 9:44 am
diane: Yey! Sige sige sana mag monay-tripping tayo nina E at B haha! Sama si Master!
