Indulge In These Puto Bumbong-Inspired Desserts This Christmas!

As early as September and October, stalls selling Christmas delicacies like the buttery bibingka and roasted chestnuts become the new normal in the Philippines. One of the famous, well-loved Christmas kakanin in the Philippines is the puto bumbong. The puto bumbong is a steamed rice cake made by steaming sticky purple rice inside a bamboo tube, which is referred to as the "bumbong ng kawayan." This delicacy is eaten as is or with grated cheese or grated fresh coconut.
