I remember in the 70's that there was a "panaderia" in Frisco near Talayan Village that sold pan de sal. Is that bakery still there? ( Del Monte Avenue/Roosevelt area). They made pan de sal that I remember. They were huge, crusty, heavy, but soft in the inside. Just one or two pieces will be enough for a good breakfast. I used to toast it with Anchor butter and top it with Reno potted meat or liver spread or Tome spanish sardines or Marca Aguila/Lady's Choice Guava Jelly. It was really yummy and satisfying.

My father and I used to drive all the way to that bakery along Roosevelt every weekend. It's not there anymore, I recently found out.

 

You are right. A good pan de sal is crusty outside and a bit chewy inside. And of course it has to have the right amount of salt. They don't make 'em that way anymore. My sister in New York bakes her own, and hers is consistent with what a good one should be. NASA pag masa daw ang secret.

 

I like mine with Edam with butter or Chinese ham with butter.
