When I went to Baguio for the Panagbenga festival, the whole of session road was closed for the event, and one of my favorite Baguio restaurants Solibao, set up their tent and served Puto Bungbong! The lines were endless! Turns out people did wish that puto bungbong can be available all year round. I was delighted to know they used butter instead of margarine, "nyog" (coconut shavings) and moscavado sugar to top it all off!
That was the best putobungbong I've ever tasted in years. My cousins and friends were all new to it. I was surprised to know that most of them never even tasted it. Unbelievable, they almost missed out on one of the best Filipino delicacies. Their first try clearly did not disappoint them because we went there everyday just to buy our daily doses.
I also asked if Solibao will be serving Puto bungbong even after the holidays and they told me they have it on their daily menu any time of the year. Problem is I'm in manila. At least I have something to look forward to whenever I go there, and I know my favorite dessert will be waiting for me any time of the year.
