Agree with Fabian, this is a great stall at the market..their pan de sal is good too!
MM, challah makes the BEST French toast in my humble opinion :) I’ve had really old challah sitting in the freezer for eons and I tried some slices as French toast and they were amazing! In fact, every time I pass by that big loaf of challah in Gng. Bukid’s stall I keep thinking of buying it, letting it get old, slicing it up and placing the slices in the freezer so I can have great French toast any time I want :) Then you know those blueberries from Baguio they also sell at the market? The ones that aren’t too sweet? Well you can make them into syrup and serve them with the French toast…divine (I’ve done this)! Wow, I’ve rambled…

HI MM,
I visit this stall every Saturday I happen to be in the market. It’s one of the better stalls there in my opinion. For a more healthful option, you can try their honey whole wheat or their multi-grain bread.

My bf and I are big fans of their very rum cake – they weren’t kidding when they said “very”. :)

Surprisingly Good: Bought a bag of coffee from Gng. Bukid in Salcedo Market. Despite the heat I'm having me a pleasant cup.

Going deeper into the market, you will discover many more great finds. One of them is Ginang Bukid, a stall famous for its baked goodies such as their Challah Bread and Maja Blanca—both of which have received raves from food enthusiasts. Other Ginang Bukid must-tries are the Pandesitos (mini pandesal) and Honey Whole Wheat Bread that would go perfectly with a cup of kapeng barako.

MUST HAVES -- LOVE LUCY

Must-haves for the Christmas table - and beyond  LOVE LUCY By Lucy Gomez (The Philippine Star) Updated December 13, 2009 12:00 AM

Gng. Bukid. She’s the one who makes wonderful Challah bread that you slice, toast and slather good butter on. Or you can always choose to tear off big pieces to dunk in a great big cup of thick hot chocolate. It is almost like brioche, and I have joyfully tried sandwiching a bar of good milk chocolate between two slabs. What joy, indeed. Call 815-4552 and 474-2600.

Challah Bread

by Marketman

Yes, that’s a nice loaf of challa bread spotted and purchased at the Salcedo Saturday Market last Saturday. It’s made with NO butter traditionally, but rather relies on egg yolks for richness. I was trying to convince myself that challah would be a healthier alternative to other butter based options, such as this wonderful brioche loaf, but in the end, I only had one slice toasted and consumed with kalamansi marmalade before smacking myself back into diet reality. At any rate, I thought this was a good deal at PHP180 or just under $4 for the loaf. I suspect it would be terrific as french toast, and I might make the rest of it into a bread pudding (less rich than thisensaimada version) for guests in a day or so…

I purchased it from the unusually named Ginang Bukid table at the Salcedo Market, and they had other baked goods on offer as well. They apparently have a permanent store at the Mazda Compound in Makati, call 474-2600 or 0916-286-0900 or ginangbukid.blogspot.com for more details.
