8 Best Combination with Pan de sal

(pan de sal can be made into different size and shapes, this is the smallest i've ever seen)

Pandesal or The Bread of Salt (which is also the title of a popular short story written by NVM Gonzales) is probably the most popular bread in the Philippines. This bread is the favorite “agahan” (breakfast food) of most Pinoys (slang for Filipino) and can be eaten plain or with “palaman” (filling).In the Philippines, all bake shops and bakeries sell Pandesal. Sometimes, this is sold in rolling stores (usually a honking bicycle with a big box on the back). When purchasing from a neighborhood bakery, be sure to be there before 8 am because the supply runs out after that time.

Here are my suggestions:

1.Pan de sal with pansit canton – any type of noodles would do.  (spaghetti, pansit bihon.. etc)

2.Pan de sal with Strawberry jam – I love it with real strawberries, like the ones coming from baguio city

3. Pan de sal with Condensed milk –  I do this a lot when I was a child. So tasty and sweet.

4. Pan de sal with Butter – make sure you toast the bread.

5. Pan de sal with Tuna – this is a healthy combination.

6. Pan de sal with Peanut butter – sounds delicious huh..

7. Pan de sal with hot choco, coffee – just the plain bread and will do.

8. Pan de sal with eggs

3 important rules in drinking vodka

(picture taken at EDSA Lrt)

Vodka etiquette

As simple as the idea of drinking vodka may seem, there are a few things one must know for proper vodka etiquette. Let us further explore the procedure of vodka drinking.

First Rule

 drink what is served to you in one gulp. Nobody measures the quantity of alcohol poured, this is left to the discretion of the pourer.

Second Rule

 never sip or mix vodka. Mixing is perceived as a western way of doing things since orange juice is often more expensive than the vodka itself.

Third Rule

 always buy back a round of drinks to everybody that treats you. Although this step might seem like a difficult one when your senses are altered after a few too many intakes of Russia's little water , this is expected. Failing to follow this courtesy might land you a first class spot on the vodka black list.
