Puto Bungbong


Filipino native snack made from sticky rice which was steamed in small chimney like steamers! Old recipes use purple colored rice but since there is scarcity of such the new version use food coloring. Usually served in banana leaves with grated fresh coconut, butter and brown sugar.

Usually during the Christmas season these are sold beside churches during "simbang gabi" or early morning mass. But now it is being sold even if it is not Christmas season.
