Hi Vic:I enjoyed reading your hot Pandesal (Rolls) story... Do the still have that Bakery in Asingan? I remember when we had our trek to Agpay we bought our rolls there. Did you still remember our Trek to Agpay that would be good topic for you to write about....

Hi Manong Lito,
I do not know if Crispin Villar's bakery is still there...But I went inside there as a kid..There was a huge clay oven..The smell is heavnly..Guys there made lots of bread ( but I do not mean moolah )..The work starts from dawn ( pan de sal production ) until afternoon when they made Pan de Cacao..Or the smaller Pan de Leche...I tried selling some of them a couple of times then I got sick so I gave up...But there is a retail store in the first floor and I frequently bought the different pastries there...Balintawak, pan de coco, Pasensiya, etc. We bought a bag of snacks then we go to the fountain or the monument of the plaza to help ourselves..When I was asked by my sisters to buy Pan de Cacao before I always ate my share before I give them the bag of the rolls.
Now a days, I think there are numerous stay at home bakers who produce pastries and sell them in their homes..Many of them are graduates of the ASAT: Asingan School of Arts and Trades...
Thanks for reminding me of Agpay..Will surely write about it!! There might be photos of Agpay in the San Nicolas web page...
