The versatility of ciabatta is what puts it at a top spot for deliciousness. Bianca's Breads, which has been specialising in a wide range of delicious loaves, knows this. Their fluffy ciabatta offers diners a "slightly sweet and nutty flavour" that's great to pair with balsamic vinegar and cheese — perfect for a light snack or appetiser. And if you're carbo-loading (or simply celebrating Homemade Bread Day), then feel free to try their other variants as well such as focaccia, potato loaf, and their baguette.
Challah: Not-So-Jewish Bakery
Not sure what challah is? No worries, we're here to let you in on the secrets behind this special loaf. Originating from the Jewish community, challah is a traditionally kosher type of bread, distinctive because of its braided appearance. It's often eaten during Jewish celebrations or ceremonies, such as during Shabbat (Saturday). So while Judaism isn't as prominent in the Philippines as it is in other countries, foodies and culture enthusiasts can still try a piece when they order from the Not-So-Jewish Bakery. Its name, while ironic, refers to the baker herself, who, while not Jewish, is married to someone who is! Baked in small batches, her challah is a must-try unique offering that's not so common in the Metro. Try it today!
