saklob

saklob - /sak-lób/ Caviteño [Tanza, Cavite] bread; dw Tag. saklob [face-to-face]) [n.] A pair of two sweet bread, paired face-to-face.


  • buddy-buddybody-bodyor double body in Cebuano, Boholano, and Ilonggo


A pair of sweet bread, shaped like a thick tongue, and rolled in desiccated shreds of coconut meat. 

Saklob is an old Tagalog word for "face-to-face."

Saklob bread in four colors, a product of  Kaibigan Bakery. To get your freshly baked saklob, you may visit the  bakery at Hugo C. Arce Street of Brgy. Biwas in Tanza, Cavite.

Saklob bread is dense in every bite but somewhat soft and a bit cakey. 

It is quite sweet, and with a texture  somewhat like a dense cake.

A perfect terno (pair) for hot coffee. Also a good partner for a cold softdrink (cola or soda).

The loaves would spoil in two days because of the shredded coconut meat used as a coating of the bread.

In Visayas, there is a similar pastry they called buddy-buddy or double body with pieces shaped into a rounded or oblong flatbread. Noticeably, the Visayan version is crisp like a cookie.

These packs (above) and mounds (below) of freshly baked saklobs  are readied by Kaibigan Bakery for distribution to resellers in Pamilihang Bayan Ng Tanza, where a pack  of 6 saklobs is sold at PHP5.00 as of 2017.
