Puto Bungbong: a Yuletide Delicacy

     Among the popular delicacies during Christmas season, one of the favorites is puto bungbong - a steamed native snack made from sticky purple glutinous rice. It is usually served topped with butter or margarine and shredded coconut mixed with brown sugar.

     In our parish only one stall vendor (Eat 'n Run) is selling puto bungbong and it's usually sold out whenever people would line up to buy as they go home after attending simbang gabi or aguinaldo mass.

                                  


     Going to simbang gabi becomes more interesting to churchgoers in our parish. What with the catchy tag of the stall! It never runs out of customers after the Mass. But I am wondering what would really happen afterward if people do exactly what the name of the stall says, "Eat 'n Run!"... I wish it would still be a Merry Christmas....
