GASAN BONETE

Aside from hot pandesal, Gasan children who grew up during the late 70's loved the taste of bonete, a locally made bread and breakfast staple in town during that time.

Gasan's best bonete was sold by Aling Goria Tan's bakery in Plata street. Their bakery made the best bonete and monay in town. The bakery closed down after Aling Goria passed away in the late 80s. One of her children, Arnel, continued the business for some time. Tan's bakery is no longer present now.

There were three major bakeries competing in town during the 80's: the Tam's bakery and panciteria, the Tan's bakery and Lao (Kuba)bakery. They have their specialty bread and they are all gone now. Tam had its hot pandesal,kabayan, and kalahi; Goria Tan its bonete and monay; and Kuba its red gorgoria and fita bread. We had all sorts of local bread in town during those times.

One day, I was surprised to learn that bonete is still being sold in some towns in Laguna and still taste the same, with that crisp, oily bottom side.
