DIMAS-ALANG BAKERY
With its old name, Dimas-Alang bakery is a hundred-year-old bakery located in the heart of Pasig City. The bakery was a branch of a more established one called Dos Hermanos, which belonged to the Raymundo family and had an unspecified beginning. However, when Teresa Raymundo took control in 1919, she changed the name to Panaderia Dimas Alang, which is short for “touch me not” or “Noli Me Tangere,” Jose Rizal’s well-known pen name.
Since the beginning, it is only a single store. It is one of the oldest bakeries in the Philippines and undoubtedly the oldest of all business establishments in Pasig City.
Old-style bread is still available in their product line, including the well-known Kamachile, Pan de Niyog, Pan de Barra, Aglipay, Popo, Biscocho de Cana, Bonete, Galletas, and the biscuit known locally as Hindi Ko Akalain (a real original and best seller).
They also make an effort to create new lines to keep up with the times. Cakes, Egg Pie, and Brazo de Mercedes are a few of these. Turones de Dimas-Alang is also included in the line. It uses a variety of local fruits, both seasonal and perennial.
