Pandesal

Pandesal is one of the most popular bread in the Philippines,this bread is usually serve in the morning as breakfast for Filipinos...

In Philippines most of the bakeries or bakeshops sell pandesal...sometimes this is also sold in rolling store like a bike with big box on the back every morning...

Pandesal can also be eaten as it is. I like having or eating pandesal along with hot coffee. I am also one of those people who loves to dip it in hot coffee.
