Considered one of the oldest bakeries and cafes in the country, this establishment is also the home of the Pandesal Forum, where discussions about geopolitics take place. While I personally am not inclined towards political discussions, my visit was centered around the experience of enjoying good food. Upon arrival, the place appeared bustling; however, there weren’t many patrons around. It is currently undergoing renovations due to a fire, but thankfully, the vintage furnace remains intact, preserving its nostalgic charm. We decided to try their silog series, specifically the bangus silog paired with atsara and smoked bangus. The bangus silog came in complete but to our disappointment, the smoked bangus was missing the “silog.” When I brought this to the waitress's attention, she insisted that we had only ordered the smoked bangus. I asked her to check the receipt, but she continued to insist otherwise. Frustrated, I approached the cashier, who promptly rectified the issue, assuring me that they would soon serve the missing “silog.” However, it was the same server who returned with only plain rice. When I inquired about the missing egg, she had to return to the kitchen, adding another five minutes to our waiting time.

This initiative is a wonderful way to promote local businesses. For future improvement, I highly recommend investing in staff training. Ensuring that all employees are well-informed about the menu and services offered would help avoid confusion and enhance the overall...

And boy, was it really different from the pictures i see in the reviews Turns out, this place got burned down several years ago, and is still under construction. So, it's kind of awkward to really dine in. But, since i was already there, i ordered a basic meal.
As basic as it goes & with no ambience to flaunt about, prices are also affordable. And tastes are also basic. They have lots of things going around, as many people would really come here for their breads & pastries.
Funny, that some of their breads are named after the candidates running in this upcoming elections. When i inquired why, would some candidates, hold their meetings in such a small place and in a fire, ravaged place, i was informed that the owner is a media columnist of a famous newspaper. And, he knows these prominent people.
So, this place is really a paradox of sorts. But if you want meals that are affordable or pastries for that matter, you can visit this place. Not much...
