Salakot

You are not a legit Caviteño if you do not know this city bread? 

Quesillo will not be perfect if not paired with salakot bread.

Salakot is a soft bread you can find in Dizon's Bakery in Cavite City, which has been churning out pugon-baked breads since the 1930s. 

Ever wondered why it’s named “Salakot”? 

It’s because it resembles the traditional hat used here in the Philippines! 

Dizon's old pugon made the difference between artisanal and mass produced breads.
