Pan de Coco

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.

 Can't resist  making that great big bite of this ohhh...so full of sweet coconut flakes bread...hmm..

                                     I remember buying these pan de coco from local bakeries back home---and the sweetened coconut were scant and found myself always unsatisfied...now I make them to my tastebud's and tummy capacities specifications. ;-)
