Before I went home today, I passed by Short Stop bakery and blindedly ordered 20pcs of pan de leche. Then I saw this lukon or prawn shaped bread in the display and without much thought ordered one. Good thing it was only PhP20, if it would have been PhP 30 I would really some have some second thoughts. So I went home eager to devour a gigantic prawn and her eggs.
I'm not stranger to these types of novelty bread as I have blogged them here and here before. But what made me overly "excited" about this lukon-shaped bread is that is has leveled up in the way it looked and the size - I'm sure you will agree 100% if you checked my links above. And the bakery staff confirmed that they have a new baker thus it renewed enthusiasm in making such novelty bread.
As it tastes like any of the bakery's breads - the body tastes like the usual pan de leche (but the "eggs" pan de leche were way better) and the extremities were almost like stick breads as they were more crunchy. Among the other shapes I saw today were a big squid and a lechon baboy. I'm sure they can make special shapes upon special orders. I would love to see an entire basket full of seafood theme shapes. For only PhP20, its already a steal!
