Each town or city has some popular bakeshop or pasalubong store that often stands out. And based on what I’ve read online, heard and on what I’ve tasted, Panulce Bakeshop seems to be “it” when in Roxas City.
I’ve never been to Roxas City. I just passed some towns in Capiz on my way to Boracay (not Bora) few times before. And I’m hoping that the planned trip we had excitedly discussed over Facebook the other night would push through.
Known as the Seafood Capital of the Philippines, Roxas City boasts of the freshest catch of the day, the variety it offers and the wide array of seafood it produces, Most of it goes to Manila on a daily basis. But that’s another topic I’m hoping to expound if the trip pushes through.
Now, let me talk about this singularly awesome product of Panulce – biscottini. Literally a small biscotti (twice cooked bread) where biscocho also might have been patterned after. But the suffix “ni” makes it a little version of it. But nonetheless, it’s really BIG IN TASTE!
It can be likened to Iloilo’s biscocho or some buttered toasts, but this particular one is very, very addicting. It may not look like it at first but after juts one bite, you certainly won’t stop. It starts with a crunch that then melts on your tongue giving a burst of flavours of sugar, butter and milk – I just assume. Some biscochos are like this too, but the biscottini stands out. Not too thick nor too thin, just right to have a crunch that eventually transforms into a flavourful blend on the tongue. It then sends a signal to the brain to instruct the hand to shove in another piece to the mouth for another bite of heaven. The cycle continues until every bit fed up.
Even this early for our planned trip to Roxas City next month, I am already making a list of where to go, where to eat, what to do and yes, what to bring home. And it doesn’t take a genius to know what’ on top of my list – biscottini from Panulce.
