I know, I am so jealous of your bakeries! I am so addicted to the Hokkaido baked cheese tarts there too. We have one shop here in New Zealand but it's 1 hour plane ride away (9 hours car ride).

I will wait for your melon pan recipe haha!

Oooo thanks for the idea! I'm not much of a baker (spoiled by all the good bakeries here), but I've started making my own bread again, and I think I may start experimenting with a Melon Pan recipe for the blog....

Too true. You need to find the better places for Tocino in the PH. Good to know all is well in Japan. I went last year, and was planning to be there this month, but the pandemic happened. Guess I will have to make my own melon pan as well.

NZ lockdown seems to be working, hope we flatten the curve soon. 😀

Thanks Kenneth! I don't think I've had Tocino outside the Philippines, but even there it was hit and miss, so I figured if I wanted to have it, I'd have to make it. Things are good here, all things considered. I hope you are well, and staying safe!
