MANILA, Philippines — Milk is healthy. It nurtures life and adds calcium to the bones, making you stronger with regular consumption.

More so perhaps if you have three sources of milk, which is what Chef Jackie Ang Po’s Tres Leches Rolls contain.

This bread boasts of three kinds of milk, making it soft, smooth, and creamy good.

And because it is loaded with milk, you cannot find it everywhere. So why not make it at home for the family? You can also make it with your kids on a lazy weekend afternoon, so they get to appreciate it more.
