PERSONIFIED FILIPINO BREAD

CUZ WHY NOT

I have yet to find certain Bisaya dishes at the palengke or even the supermarket in Manila. Sigi'g kog ngita ug ngohiong, tablea, fresh ube tubers, fresh kinilaw... Halfway through the pandemic, our neighborhood bakeshop started making binangkal. It was around then that I started gaining weight.

Binangkal ironically reminds me of growing up in the US where Mama would finish up a deep-fried batch with sesame seeds riddled all over the place. In Pangasinan there are zero binangkal (so far) since it’s predominantly a Visayas-Mindanao mainstay. Thankfully there's some really good batches in QC, like this one at Inay’s in Cubao.
