#WorldPandesalDay
In time for the celebration of annual #WorldPandesal Day on October 16 with free 100,000 Pandesal breads to be given away at 84-year-old Kamuning Bakery Café in Quezon City, some customers and top celebrities shared their favorite ways of eating the uniquely Filipino bread Pandesal.
Movie actress, former Batangas Governor and former Deputy Speaker Vilma Santos Recto said: “My favorite is coffee and cheese in my Pandesal!!!” Movie producer Mother Lily Y. Monteverde said: “Ever since as a child, my favorite is Pandesal breads with bukayo… Happy World Pandesal Day!”
National Artist for music Ryan Cayabyab said: “My favorite is pan or oven-warmed Pandesal with hardened butter, dunked in a cup of hot tablea or traditional chocolate, making sure butter is not completely melted. Yummmmy!” National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts Ricky Lee said: “I love eating Pandesal with peanut butter, sometimes cheese. I don’t drink coffee.”
Actress and beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez said: “I love eating hot Pandesal with butter. It’s most delicious when you dip it in hot coffee with milk in the mornings or merienda time.” Comedian Giselle Sanches said: “I like eating Pandesal with cheese. Kesong puti is the best cheese for Pandesal. The Italians would go wild once they get to taste Pandesal with kesong Pputi. Cheapest nutritious merienda out there.”
Actress Iza Calzado said: “Pandesal toasted with kesong puti and butter and hot chocolate is heavenly!!!” Singer Cooky Chua said: “I love hot Pandesal from the bakery and with palaman of egg or laing.”
Actor Albert Martinez said: “I love old school way of hot Pandesal in the morning with kesong puti and good Batangas coffee.” Actor and painter Jao Mapa said: “I love toasted Pandesal bread with butter or sometimes with peanut butter.”
Quezon City Councilor and actor Alfred Vargas said: “My favorite way of eating Pandesal is when it’s fresh and hot straight from the ‘pugon’, then I’ll put kesong puti as ‘palaman’ or Coco Jam when I’m craving for something sweet. I’ll have the local hot chocolate with it to complete the treat. That is the way we do it in Sta. Maria, Bulacan, my hometown.”
