Nothing beats bread that's fresh out of the oven!


This blog was created by students of the De La Salle- College of Saint Benilde under the guidance of Chef Shirley Ann Joseph. It aims to provide information about the nearby bakeries located in certain districts in the Metro.

From your regular Pan de Sal to odd-sounding breads like Putok or Pusit, Margarine Madness! showcases different types of breads that these local bakeries make for Filipinos to enjoy. 

Hope you enjoy viewing our blog!

Atin Ito!


Being a college student here in manila isn’t a joke, and not even a dream. It's a reality!  Living here as a dormer is really hard; we need to look for our food and we have to move for us to survive. So as a student from the province who moved here in manila to study, I really had a hard time looking for anything consumable that will suit my taste buds.

Then Pan de Pidro was on the rescue!!


This bakery is located at 2600 Taft Ave Corner P Ocampo St. Brgy. 729, Zone 079 Malate, Manila

Their products ranges from P4.00 to P10.00 maximum. Pretty cheap, don't you agree?


  1. Spanish Bread
  2. Cheese melt
  3. Pan de Coco
  4. Pineapple pie
  5. Cream bar
  6. Ube bar
  7. Mango/ ube ensaymada
  8. Half moon
  9. Hopia baboy
  10. Mongo bread
  11. Cheese cupcake
  12. Kababayan


  1. Hamburger buns
  2. Mamon
  3. Custard mini
  4. Butter slice
  5. Brownies
  6. Cinnamon rolls
  7. Mocha slice
  8. Marble slice
  9. Sliced monay
As a bakeshop, the quality of its products is well above the “masa” variety and may already be categorized as specialized baked goodies. But the bottom-line is that Pan de Pidro’s quality products are always offered at prices that are well appreciated by the value-conscious middle and lower-middle income groups.

Pan de Pidro is now a household name within the community called Barangay Vergara in Mandaluyong City, where it all started. Now, through nationwide franchising, Pan de Pidro hopes to bring this enhanced concept of bread-making to every community in the country.

Overall, Pan de Pidro gave me a good time looking for nice taste for my taste buds. Not just for me, but also  my friends and relatives, too! :D


BREAKFAST


Every morning I always ask my parents, "what’s for breakfast?" And there you go, we always have this “pandesal” together with the other food in the dining table. Actually I prefer eating a heavy breakfast but if I’m running late for school , I’d grab one just to fill my empty stomach. :)

We always buy our pan de sal from our trusted bakery which is the “PANDESAL KING” which is located near the house.

“PANDESAL KING”




The establishment is named “Pandesal King” because their specialty is really the pan de sal bread itself. Aside from pan de sal, they also sell other baked items like ensaymada, egg pie, chocolate roll, Spanish bread and etc. They are known for their freshly baked pan de sal that they sell every morning. Filipinos traditionally eat pandesal every morning together with their cup of coffee and until now “pan de sal” is still patronized by the community because it already became part of their life and it’s a tradition that’s why many people still buy “pandesal” in this bakery.
HOW TO GET THERE
It is located on Estrada Street between Dian Street and Conchu Street. The location of the bakery is near the church, school and near the road. The bakery can be easily seen by people who pass by.
The bakery produces and sells food baked in an oven like breads and pastries.
Aside from pan de sal, I’ve also tried their other baked items which tastes good too.
Kinds of Products
Pandesal, Chocolate roll, Ensaymada, Brazo de Mercedes, Spanish Bread, Egg pie and many more.











When it comes to quality of their baked items, they all taste good and it’s affordable too.
I know it is just a small establishment but I think they also need advertisements in order for them to attract more customers. How? They can put posters about the bakery and the products they sell or they can just give away flyers. I know that it can be costly but I’m sure it will help.
Since they have good quality products, I think you should try one and be the judge! You’ll see what my source of energy tastes likes. If I had tried their other products already why don’t you try some? And see yourself  wanting for more margarine in your mouth! :))
SEE FOR YOURSELF!
