Vjandel Pastel of Camiguin

I am a bread lover. I love breads. I <3 breads! Breads are love! 

It was a privilege for me to visit and taste the freshly baked special Vjandep Pastel of Camiguin (P12php each, 1/2dozen is P70, 1doz is P130) from its original bake house in Plaridel Street, Mambajao, Camiguin, Philippines, during our 4 days Camiguin-CDO-Bukidnon trip {April 30 - May 4, 2014}. The branch is located in the town's sentro (center) and it was 1 motorela ride away from where we stayed (Paguia's Inn).

VjANDEP means "VJ"-Virgilio Jose, "AND" "EP"-Eleanor Popera. For the history, you may visit their page at https://www.facebook.com/Vjandep/info

Since we have visited Camiguin first and we still have 3 days to travel and visit parts of CDO and BUkidnon, we dedicded to buy pastel and pasalubong on our last day of the trip at CDO. Vjandep's branch in CDO is in:

The VjANDEP Bakeshop Commissary, Zone II, Bulua High-way, 9000 Cagayan de Oro, Philippines

Hanna here, my friend, bought 5 boxes of pastel to get that free paper bag! Hahaha!
