many other countries around the world.
In Spain and many Latin American countries,
the cheese was long considered a delicacy.
- Puto Bumbong Recipe is 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

bamboo tubes. It is served topped with butter
or margarine and shredded coconut mixed

the Philippines traditionally eaten during
the Christmas season. Bibingka is a
traditional Philippine Christmas food. It is
usually eaten along with puto bumbong right
after the Simbang Gabi ('Midnight mass', the
Filipino version of Misa de Gallo).[2] They are
sold outside of churches during Christmas
season.
- Bibingka is made with rice flour
and coconut milk or water. Other ingredients
can vary greatly, but the most common
secondary ingredients are eggs and milk.
- Most varieties of bibingka differ only from
the type of toppings they use. Bibingka is
also used as a general term for desserts
cooked in the same manner (especially those
containing rice). It originally referred primarily
to bibingka galapong, the most common type
ofbibingka. Bibingka cooked with regular flour
instead of rice flour is also simply
called bibingka. Bibingka can also be made
with uncommon ingredients, in cluding
chocolate.

of bibingka made from rice flour.[3] It was
originally made simply with rice flour and
water.

rice flour.[3] It is moist and is usually served
sliced into square blocks.

often substituted with yeast.[4]

celebration such as fiestas and chri8stmas.
But because of our shortage in money not all
of us can prepare of this.

kinds of fruit, sometimes served in a liquid,
either in their own juices or a syrup. When
