Pre-war Pan de Sal

What makes this pan de sal interesting is the "prefix" pre-war that got me very curious then when a batchoyan started offering them years ago, along side with another iconic bread - pan de sal ni Pa-a.



As the name suggest thus pan de sal may have been the typical recipe decades ago before the war. But it may have just caught up commercially in the 70s.


Good thing that there are still bakeries here in Iloilo that makes the original pan de sal and among them is the Los Filipinos Bakery along Iznart Street across the Iloilo Central market.



Each costs PhP 1 and it is among the most compact pan de sals I've tried and perfect with soups like Lapaz batchoy.


Bakeries in towns still make this kind of bread like this one in Santa Barbara, Iloilo which is bigger but still light yet compact.

It is basically on the sweet side plus it has that signature "dusting" that makes it stand out. It is also perfect coffee or chocolate drinks. But I love dunking it like most plain breads in Coke or Pepsi. 

Have you tried this one yet?

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube
