You get them from the bakery (we go to Pan de Amerikano) in perfect shape – squarish with rounded corners, and an almost domed top. Then the panadero puts them in a brown paper bag, three in a row, a dozen all cramped inside. Soft, freshly-baked and highly pliant, the short drive home is enough to squish them into a shapeless, unappetizing mess.
There must be a better way.
And so one weekend, I scoured SM department store for the perfect container for my pandesal. I found one. Oh I mean two, because there was a Buy 1 Take 1 promo at P199. I used one for my gift-wrapping stuff – ribbons, gift bags, etc.
And the other one became my pandesal box.
14 pieces of soft, fluffy and perfectly-shaped pandesal can fit in my pandesal box.
I love it when other customers at the bakery smile at me as I place my order and put my box on the counter. "That's a great idea!", one woman said. Seriously, I want to suggest to the bakery management to have a promo and give something like this to loyal customers.
Look at my pandesal–they're as beautiful as the moment they came out of the oven!
