El Ideal is more than just a bakery, it’s an institution, a cultural heritage, a

story entirely on its own. El Ideal Bakery was established in the 1920’s by the
late Cesar Lacson Locsin and his sisters. Some recipes served today were
served years ago. El Ideal is famous for classic Ilonggo cookies and biscuits
such as quinamoncil, sinambag, biscocho principe, broas, favorita, lubid-lubid,
quinihad, etc.
