Khristine, where is panaderia ni Pa-a in Iloilo? Would love to hear from you soon. My husband is from there but he has not heard of pandesal ni Pa-a. Dennis, I don’t think they still deliver pandesal these days. Most households have Gardenia white bread for breakfast, I think.

Im just so lucky that there is a Filipino baker here in my neighborhood that bakes this “hot pandesal” on weekends, and at 10cents a pop (a little bigger than the baliwag’s i remember from back then), hot from the oven, it doesn’t need anything, they are so gooooood, Just like the McD’s commercial, I get fry breath before i get them home ;-)

Another former bakery owner here =) Yes, those mamons are kababayans! But, what I used to pilfer hot out of the oven are the spanish bread… hot, melted margarine-sugar mix oozing with every bite — YUM!

wow. i’m actually from iloilo–though manila-based for about eight years now–but i couldn’t find the buho even if you paid me! went there maybe twice and all i remember now is that it’s somewhere in the center of the city.

jayjay, omgosh! you know about the panaderia sa buho.. it is still around if you are referring to a square whole (literally) on the wall! My Uncle passed in 2005 in Iloilo. I remember being shuffled around to get snacks for the visitors who stayed for the “daguro”. My cousins drove me to that place at 2 in the morning! memories…

My friend Tina and I used to sell to our officemates hot pan de sal with itlog na maalat as palaman. It was a hit. That was years agao. For me, I like to eat hot pan de sal dipped in very cold milk mixed with sugar, it’s something salty with something sweet. Those were the days….
