(p.s. my dad still owns a small bakery in the suburbs of metro manila. suprisingly, it's been competing very nicely with neighbors such as Julie's bakery (two of them) and even bigger ones such as Red Ribbon and Goldilocks (a short tricycle drive away). part of the reason is because they only use basic ingredients (no preservatives) and they only make small quantities. instead of printed plastic bags, they still use the brown paper ones. and pandesal has remained P1.00 per piece! that pan de regla you talked about -- it's my favorite but we call it belyas!)purplegirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863911.post-90025450622146577102006-10-02T20:23:00.000-05:002006-10-02T20:23:00.000-05:00PG, thanks! sumobra ba?

I did not intend to...actually, blangko nga utak ko nung nabalitaan ko about LP 14, but the idea sparked when the next morning, I told my son that story about Tatay's bakery. I have been trying to convince my sister to assist my father in pursuing the bakery, pero hindi na sya interested. I plan to someday enable him to bring all his equipment to his hometown and build his business there. Baka mas maging masaya sya especially malalapit sya sa dagat at farm (he had told me countless of stories about fishing and farming).Mananghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816740817614105118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863911.post-11061393953740308182006-10-14T19:10:00.000-05:002006-10-14T19:10:00.000-05:00This is a very nice entry, Manang.

I know he really really loves baking not for financial gain but for his personal satisfaction. Sa mga nagkakaedad daw kasi, parang laging hinahanap ng katawan na nila ang nakasanayang gawin. Doon sila masaya. <br><br>Thanks for sharing.Lanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08345463721112918688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863911.post-2522079051563005872006-10-18T17:54:00.000-05:002006-10-18T17:54:00.000-05:00hi manang...loved your entry with all the details ...hi manang...loved your entry with all the details of the bakery business. maybe it is better to start all over in the province...there seems to be so much competition in Metro Manila. My best bakery that sold old-style pandesal baked in a wood-fire oven was in Zambales...they only opened from 4 a.m and stayed open until all the pandesal was sold - 2 hours and it was all gone.Mitawww.unofficialcook.comnoreply@blogger.com
