Baliwag pandesal for me as if in my own country (Phil’s.) because it’s taste I’m home on the table eating with my whole family. Muhlach ensaymada is just homemade not so sweet and full of cheese on top good for children and adult especially for seniors have high blood pressure. Craving something new @ breakfast with mix taste of sugar and acidic bite of sour like lemon spread to Baliwag pandesal make me mood to move my morning routine., that’s why I kept on ordering this item.

The prices are much better than Asian markets, the food is fresh, and it's packaged very carefully. I need to buy groceries from Wee every week, but there's no fresh food delivery service through Gofftown, so I can only order through a friend or acquaintance. It's a shame because it's so inconvenient! Hopefully, they will offer fresh food delivery through Gofftown in the future. I'll only buy from Wee and won't need to go to any other market anymore.
