Offerings include traditional Filipino pastries such as señorita bread, hopia, and pandesal.
CHICAGO -- Some say there's a boom in Filipino restaurants and food shops in Chicago , and one Albany Park bakery is expanding the delicious offerings with traditional foods in a very modern setting. Bakers at the new Umaga Bakehouse, at 4703 W. Foster Av., are working hard to keep up with demand. Ever since the shop opened in April, customers have been flocking to the new Filipino bakery.
Their offerings are fresh, but also very traditional Filipino. 'We wanted them to taste it like as if it was back home in the Philippines. That's why, with the racks coming out, we want them to get that hot bread, because that's what they do in the Philippines on the streets. Like, the little shops, they're just producing hot bread,' Kissel said.
