BORING MERIENDA THIS AFTERNOON

I was visiting a chef friend when she told me that she wants me to check this new bakeshop infront of his resturant. According to my friend, the bakeshop is new and their baked products taste strange. I was thinking that their was a mistake in the way they baked.

We arrived in the bakeshop premises and the in charge greeted us with a smile and asked us about our order. We ordered some of their famous bread, ensaymada and their shake. According to the in charge, that was their house specialty. We sat at their their tables and noticed some things that are dirty. As the bread was served to us, I tasted their baked products and immediately noticed that it was a bit salty for a bread. And the ensaymada tasted not what we were expecting for a baked product such as ensaymada.

Ensaymada should be baked in perfection. It must be a little bit sweet because of the sugar on top of it. Margarine or butter must also be present. But the ensaymada that was served to us was not that. As a chef, we immediately told the in charge about the taste of their ensaymada. The in charge told us that it was just on a trial basis. We also encourage them to buy new recipe books or have a baking recipe guide at least since they are in the baking business.
