Bacolod Piaya Vendor: Hot fresh and tasty Piaya!

As The Bacolod Food hunters drove by the University of Saint Lasalle their attention was drawn towards a group of people surrounding a vendor’s food cart.   The Bacolod Food Hunters parked their car a few feet away and as they walked towards the cart, they noticed people walking away with brown paper bags and munching on what appeared to be white papery discs.

“It’s Piaya!” A Bacolod Food Hunter gasped.

The Bacolod Food Hunters decided to return the next day when there were less people buying piaya.  They couldn’t help but snap a picture of the happy people munching on their fresh and piping hot piaya.

Lots and Lots of people!

The next day, the Bacolod Food hunters returned to LaSalle and were able to “interview” the vendor selling piaya.  We did more munching on piaya than talking! We did discover that the vendor has been succesfully selling piaya in the same spot for 8 years!

The Piaya vendor and his cart. Behind him is a vendor selling chinese cakes.

Dough is wrapped around a tiny ball of ube and rolled flat.

The paper thin flattened dough is then put on a lightly greased hot iron plate.

The hot piaya is now ready to eat!

We decided to make a video on the spot!  Such piaya making skill must not go unnoticed!

Remember, you can find the Piaya vendor near the University of  Saint LaSalle Bacolod near bangga LaSalle. Drop by and have a hot piaya for merienda!

Little Bread house: Delicious Jamaican Patties

Little Bread House is a tiny bakery in front of the college of San Agustin Bacolod.  It is small and unassuming.  At first glance, you would be tempted to dismiss it as an ordinary local bakery.

Little Bread House's cute sign

Once you enter, you notice that among the trays of bread that they sell, are trays of jamaican patties.  These patties are the speciality of Little Bread House.  They are fantastic!  They are cheap and delicious, priced at 25-28 pesos per patty!

Cheesy Tuna, Chili beef and Chicken mushroom patties

The Patties are generously-sized and well-stuffed  too.  One patty will fill you right up.  The Bacolod Food hunters suggest dropping by early in the morning when the patties are fresh from the oven.

A personal favorite: Chicken Mushroom patties
