Hi MM, I read your post on the challah bread but what caught our attention is your mention of calamansi marmalade! mmmm i grew up in the philippines but have never heard of this! is this a new product on the market? where could i pick some up around manila? and is there an organic version?

@ new yorker: Yes! Eli’s challah is really very good! Try it and I swear you will crave for it. I just eat it plain with a cup of joe in the morning. also on a different note. I did not realize Payard has moved from Lex to Madison. I was craving for his macarons. Anyway, did you also try the roast chicken at Citarella? Its that good.
@ MM: have you tried “little owl’ restaurant in the village? It was highly recommended by a family friend in the Philippines who happens to have a restaurant there in Pasong Tamo, Mkt. we tried little owl – very quaint and food was very good. We were lucky they had truffles fresh from Umbria that night. MM, thanks for your site.

Agree with Fabian, this is a great stall at the market..their pan de sal is good too!

MM, challah makes the BEST French toast in my humble opinion :) I’ve had really old challah sitting in the freezer for eons and I tried some slices as French toast and they were amazing! In fact, every time I pass by that big loaf of challah in Gng. Bukid’s stall I keep thinking of buying it, letting it get old, slicing it up an placing the slices in the feezer so I can have great French toast any time I want :) Then you know those blueberries from Baguio they also sell at the market? The ones that aren’t too sweet? Well you can make them into syrup and serve them with the French toast…divine (I’ve done this)! Wow, I’ve rambled…

That challah looks delicious.
@Rosemarie: Is the challah at Eli’s really that good? I know Eli’s bread and pastries is good (“The best, anyway you slice it” the man himself says). Have yet to try it and will splurge the $$$ for a loaf. I was going to buy a loaf once for bread pudding, but got sticker shock.
