I love me a good Filipino bakery. And growing up in California, I was fortunate to be nearby several of them. Nothing like fresh hot pan de sal! So when I moved to the CDN area, I was pleasantly surprised to find out there was bakery just a few blocks from our apartment: Fiesta Pilipino. I do my laundry at the buanderie next door, which is always an opportunity to pay a visit!
Highlights:
- During the warmer seasons, drop by for a frozen bubble tea. My favorite: Taro! (also known as "ube". It's purple).
- Their siopao (chicken or pork steamed buns) are on point. They give it to you with a sauce which is like icing on the cake.
- Make sure to ask them if they have fresh pan de sal (not the ones that are pre-packaged).
- They also have various desserts and pastries that are worth a try.
I do wish they served empanadas. That's probably my one gripe.
