Food is one of a person's craving on Christmas. And in Las Piñas, these two are known for their taste and unbearable desire to be eaten. On the left is the 'puto bumbong', it is a mix of black rice, sweet or glutinous rice and plain rice then steamed in a tube to make cylindrical form. It is always topped with melted butter, coconut and muscovado sugar. It has a sweet and salty taste with a rough to a bit fine texture to the tongue. The only thing that I can say is, 'It tastes great!'.
On the right side is the 'bibingka', it is made from rice flour, coconut milk or water, eggs and milk (probably cow's milk) and is heated in a terra cotta. It has a soft spongy texture and when topped with cheese, sugar and salted egg, it'll create a sweet-salty taste just like the puto bumbong.
Both are equally tasty and the same, the two are rice cake delicacies. Though different from one another, the incredible taste that the two have are never different!
