Addicted to Ensaymada

How do I start a great day? For me, I always make it a point to have a great breakfast, whether it’s rice, cereals, oatmeal or bread.  It’s amazing how you can eat breakfast alone & still enjoy what you are eating. It’s like your “me time” of the day. 

Let me share with you one of my favorite breakfast of all time.  With no exaggeration, I had these babies every morning for a year (2010.) Yes, this and only this for my weekday breakfast before I start my work.

The Filipino ensaymada a traditional yeast bun from Majorca, Spain, made with pork lard and sugar on top. It began to appear in local panaderias during the Spanish period when Filipino and Chinese bakers began to make bread through the government's Royal Bakeshop in Intramuros.

In San Pedro Laguna, There is Universal Bakery’s Ensaymada. It’s wrapped in clear plastic with Print of their Logo. I love the mixture of sugar and cheese on top + margarine/buttery taste. The sugar creates a crunchy sound then as you chew; the butter melts along with the dough and for the win, a surprise  bacon inside! yes, bacon! It’s perfect for breakfast or snack and would go well with a nice cup of good coffee. 

                                                            P20.00

They have three stores in san pedro laguna.One is located in Pacita Complex(Near Jolibee Pacita), the branch I always frequent to visit , the other is Near McDonalds Elvinda and the other one is in San Pedro town Proper (Bayan).

Universal bakery in San Pedro Laguna is a local pride. They have one of the best mamon and ensaymada I have ever tasted.Very affordable too. For P20 pesos, you can already try their yummy ensaymada. 

To make good bread and pastry, the baker must use good quality ingredients and I must say I love not only the ensaymada but the other goodies of this baker king of San Pedro!
