Yum! I’m going to have to try this, as in this household we love pan de sal & French toast (or Australia toast as my 3yo has renamed it, bc “we live in Australia, Mummy” lol).
I made a bit of Pinoy fusion breakfast food myself the other day – homemade ensaymada (without toppings) cut in half like a bun, toasted, with Christmas ham & Brie inside. Damn it was good! I told my brother it covered most of our varied cultural background lol

Hey Lorraine- That’s the best bit with it being nice and crisp! I feel bad adding the maple as it turns it somewhat soggy…

Hey Agnes- Think of pandesal as a cross between the sweet bread at Breadtop and a standard dinner roll. There is no softener either.
Creamy says – “aeh!” hehe

Hey Ellie- Thanks! my mind says follow the recipes but tummy says no. That and the fact that I’d run out of white bread!

Wow! This is the best french toast I have ever seen. Awesome!

Oh, I’d never heard of pandesal before – is it similar to the soft white bread that’s common in most Asian bakeries?

PS: cute cat!

Hey Belle- haha! Most likely because I just made it up on the spot. Interestingly though, pandesal originally drew similarities to the French baguette but then eventually became sweeter and more dense in texture.

Yes, I will do. Funnily, Creamy doesn’t meow but simply mutters a short adorable “aeh!”. Here’s pic: http://foodrehab.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSC02295.JPG

Why have I never heard of this marvellous dish before? Makes me think the French have a contender. Though I understand why you’d need a gym session afterwards. PS: Say miaow to Creamy for me!

Hey Leona- ha! I’m weird with my recipes. Although the bread (pandesal) is Filipino, having no standard white bread in the cupboard one day, I used this instead. I was determined to solve my french toast cravings somehow! LOL

Luckily though, as I now prefer to use pandesal. Its my soul food.
