Kabayan or Kababayan muffin for lunch

Yes, that is right, i only ate 4 of these Pinoy muffins called kabayan for lunch. It was part of my weight loss challenge. 


Just 4 of these and it made me full right away. Well, it's not one of those breads that looks so big in the outside but inside, it really is just full of air. This is one has full, intact, rich taste packed in that small size of it.


I've been eating this muffin ever since i was a kid. And i kinda grew into it. 


Like with some of its's pinoy bread counterpart pan de sal and ensaymada, kabayan great with hot chocolate or coffee.


This is also very affordable and you can buy it at any small or big bakery is nearest you.
