Puto Bumbong @ Cafe Laguna


Cafe Laguna probably has one of the best puto bumbong dishes in Cebu. What's "puto bumbong"? According to PinoyRecipe.net:
Puto Bumbong, Traditionally made from a special variety of heirloom sticky or glutinous rice called Pirurutong which has a distinctly purple color, soaked in salted water and dried overnight and then poured into bumbong or bamboo tubes and then steamed until done or steam rises out of the bamboo tubes. It is served topped with butter or margarine and shredded coconut mixed with sugar.
I've always had this thing about purple-colored foods but puto bumbong is definitely an exception. I always try to have some whenever I go home to Cebu. If you happen to pass by Cafe Laguna (Ayala Cebu and SM North Wing Cebu), you should go in and order it!
