Pan de Sal in Bangkok

i'm a pan de sal eater. i can still hear the call of the vendors in Alaminos Pangasinan at night and in the early dawn... "pan de sal, napudot paaiiii" [that was when i was a kid]. i like my pan de sal every morning with a cup of coffee and i like it crispy - i mean the old time favorite recipe.

You can drive for blocks in Bangkok without seeing a bakery, and worse yet if you see one you wont find any pan de sal. breakfast bread here is deep fried and soggy, and cooked at the sidewalk.

How do you get your pan de sal here? first you buy a small sized electric oven, then you go to the Internet for a pinoy pan de sal recipe. Next is you shop for the ingredients at Lotus and then you bake the pan de sal yourself. And that's exactly what i did. here are the pictures to document my act. i wish i took a photo of the kitchen that i messed up while making the dough.
