Pan de Cielo

At the Market! Market! in Taguig, I stopped by a kiosk selling bread and pastry. An odd-looking, yellowing bread loaf caught my attention.

"What's the difference between this bread and the rest?" I asked the sales girl.

"That's an egg loaf, it's more delicious so you need not use a spread," she replied.

So I bought one and brought it home. I opened it and gingerly took a bite, expecting a heady rush and shouts of Hallelujah just like when I first tasted the über delicious 'pastel' from Camiguin.

It tasted exactly like...uhm, bread...sans the stars and the Hallelujahs.

Damn those sales people.
