Another afternoon snack that I used to look forward to eating back home in the Philippines was pan de coco (bread with sweetened coconut flakes filling) still warm, fresh from the local bakery. Smooth and brown outside, soft and sweet and coconut flakey inside. Come to think of it, this afternoon snack was popularly eaten with an icy cold glass of coke or two to down it. Making these lead me mind-walking once again down nostalgia lane. The smell of bread baking accompanied by some sweet aroma of the caramelizing coconut flakes brought a flood of memories back in the days of my youth.
