Max's Corner Bakery The Tinapay Natin Pinoy Bread Baking Competition

"We are a country who has had a long history of enjoying bread. Even in Max's Corner Bakery and Max's Restaurant, the first meal we offered was friend chicken with dinner rolls. It is our hope then that through this competition, our young participants will be able to share the unique story of their bread creations. We want to know the inspirations, the struggles, and the hard work put into making it." ~Ariel P. Fermin, Chief Operating Officer of Max's Corner Bakery and Max's Restaurant

Every Filipino knows and loved Tinapay (Bread) and over the years, Pinoy bread has become part and reflection of our identity, and our history. There are different variants of bread, who among Filipino's did not eat Pandesal every morning for breakfast perfectly paired with a hot coffee. The ensaimada for merienda paired with juice had become household staples and have played witnesses to countless family and community gatherings.

The Tinapay Natin Pinoy Bread Baking Competition will continue it's celebration of the vibrant tradition of Filipino bread-making, on its second run this year. With the support of Max's Corner Bakery and Pimlico, the competition vows to be bigger, better, and more inclusive.

"The entries that we received from last years Tinapay Natin competition opened our eyes to the many colorful stories that go with each bread product, and this is a testament of how rich our local bread culture is. We hope that with this competition, we are able to encourage the public to keep the bread-making tradition alive, promote creativity and innovation among Filipino bakers, and of course, support the local bread industry just as much as we and Max's Corner Bakery do." ~Tristan Aboitiz, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Pilmico
