puto bongbong
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.



Palitaw

Palitaw is a small, flat, sweet rice cake eaten in the Philippines. They are made from malagkit (sticky rice) washed, soaked, and then ground. Scoops of the batter are dropped into boiling water where they float to the surface as flat discs - an indication that they're done. When served, the flat discs are dipped in grated coconut, and presented with a separate dip made of sugar and toasted sesame seeds. everyone's favorite.
