Dimas-Alang Bakery: The Bread of the History



DIMAS-ALANG BAKERY, 1919


the well loved PANDESAL!


Whenever I'm on the jeepney going to the church or my school when I was in secondary, my nose are suddenly taken away by the smell of warm and sweet bread by the Dimas-Alang bakery in Kapasigan, Pasig City. The Dimas-Alang bakery was the first known bakery in Pasig owned by Ambrosio Lozada on the year 1919 who is the father of an internationally known pianist named Carmencita Lozada. The fact that the Philippines back then was still on the verge of Spanish colonization, the bakery was named after the pseudonym of Dr. Jose P. Rizal- Dimas-Alang which means strong and always ready.

Pasig City was then just starting to carve its name on the field of business, the Pasiguenos daily life revolves around work and family but one thing that will make Pasiguenos life complete is the "almusal" with coffee and pandesal. A perfect blend of sweetness in the pandesal makes the Pasiguenos have a brighter outlook on their day and being so cheap they don't have to stress themselves out just to satisfy their hunger without sacrificing the  preference of their tastebuds.

The Dimas-Alang Bakery until today is serving their pandesal and many other kinds and flavors of breads including croissants and french bread however Pasiguenos always come back to buying pandesal instead of those breads. Other kinds of bread such as aglipay, bonete, biscocho and the "di ko akalain" were on the top priority of the buyers when they visit this bakery. Getting to Dimas-Alang Bakery is relatively easy, just ride a jeepney or fx that has the route of Pasig Palengke or Pasig San Joauqin, you can savor the flavor of the bread that has been a witness of the evolution and history of Pasig City in no sweat! Experience the flavor that was well loved by our ancestors!  To find out more about the Dimas-Alang Bakery, you can visit this website:  Dimas-Alang Bakery, Pasig City

They have one of the best pandesal I've tasted(biased). In fact they topped Food Magazine's 5 best pandesal.

You just have to wake up a bit early because they easily run out.
