Cheap Eats — Panaderia Pantoja

Cheese Bread Cheese Bread- Made famous by Kris Aquino’s admission that this is one of her favorites, the clover shaped bread boasts of cheese right in the center of each “leaf,” and costs only Php 10.

Stuffed Bread: (L) Burrito and (R) Mushroom Chicken Pesto Stuffed Bread- Choose from flavors such as Garlic/ Pepperoni/ Tuna with Cheese, Chicken Burrito, or Mushroom Chicken Pesto, the stuffed bread is crammed with filling with every bite at Php 18/pc.
Bread Topped with Maju Bread Topped with Maju- A cheap substitute for Bread Talk’s version, these bread buns topped with dried flakes of pork cost Php 90/dozen.
Ensaymada Ensaymada- Their version is good enough considering its only Php 80/dozen.

Panaderia Pantoja (established in 1950) is habitually patronized by ABS-CBN employees, considering it’s right across the Eugenio Lopez Buiding (part of the ABS-CBN compound) entrance on Mother Ignacia St. Its high volume of customers has made the owners decide its operationg hours must be lengthened to Mon-Fri 7am-12mn, Sat 9am-9pm, and Sun 9am-8pm.

Parking can be quite difficult since the area is full of numerous eating establishments. The ABS-CBN building has a 3-level underground parking area, as well as valet service.

Or you can take the northbound MRT. Alight at the Quezon Ave. station, take the crossover that will take you over EDSA (which can be quite thrilling when you realize that you’re on the same level as the billboards, approximately 4-5 stories high), and Panaderia Pantoja will just be a 5-10 minute walk from the corner of Mother Ignacia St. and EDSA.

For orders or directions, please call 926.8647.
