EN: purple rice cake steamed in bamboo tubes
Ah, the smell of Christmas in the Philippines! This isn't just a snack; it's a whole Christmas morning vibe. It's a purple sticky rice cake cooked in bamboo tubes, served hot with a generous sprinkle of grated coconut, muscovado sugar, and sometimes a slab of butter or margarine. You'll see vendors pop up outside churches during Simbang Gabi. It's the ultimate post-mass treat.
Mula sa 'puto' (steamed cake) + 'bumbong' (bamboo tube).
