 * Yet the bakery was filled with all types of goodies, ranging from the familiar pan de sal, pan de leche, otap and monay to the unfamiliar caycay, sinadlan, penato, galletas de carmen, galletas bato, masareal, tasaktak, and a rather full and hard bread called elorde, after the boxer Gabriel "Flash" Elorde who happens to be a famous son of Cebu. This bread which needs to be chewed quite well, is said to resemble Elorde's fists both in look and quality. It is not to my liking.
