This dedication begins with their sourdough! Each loaf is baked using a French starter with 160 years of history, a heritage element that lends every bread its fragrant aroma, nuanced tang, and unmistakable depth.

Building on this foundation, Maker and Made champions collaboration at every level. Local farmers, growers, and craftsmen provide the ingredients that shape the menu, while fermentation, marination, and other thoughtful methods draw out natural flavours, elevating simplicity into something remarkable.

This philosophy shines in their signature creations. One highlight is the Sourdough Pan de Sal, a chewy, golden-crusted twist on a beloved Philippine classic that transforms a familiar staple into a comforting yet elevated treat.

Equally noteworthy is the Sourdough Ad-Rye Loaf. Here, rye’s bold earthiness meets the tangy depth of sourdough, resulting in a hearty bread with a robust and well-balanced flavour profile.
