Puto bumbong lovers, your favorite holiday treat just got a Wendy’s glow-up—ready for a twist on tradition?

It’s payday, the perfect time to treat ourselves, especially with the ever-changing weather in the Philippines. For fans of traditional Pinoy desserts , there’s now a new twist to enjoy your puto bumbong . Carmina ordered’  Wendy's Philippines ’ latest offering—the Putobumbong Frosty —available in two sizes: 6oz for 87.85 pesos ($1.49) or a tub for 125.35 pesos ($2.12).  She opted for the tub, skipping the smaller size entirely. The classic puto bumbong, made from purple sticky rice with grated cheese and latik sauce , gets an upgrade in Wendy’s version, which adds leche flan , rice crispies, and creamy vanilla frosty. A sweet treat perfect for those with a sweet tooth. Carmina preferred it served separately, as the puto bumbong is hard and chewy to eat. I guess I’m just used to having it without ice cream. That’s just my preference—others might enjoy it as it is. NOT SPONSORED. Check out my channel where you can find my videos at  Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel ...

Counting Down For New Year

As the New Year approaches people will be drinking it off celebrating with families and friends. The best remedy to do before sleeping it off is to eat anything sweet to prevent hang over the next day. I have friends who use to come over and drink at our home and she would always request for Krispy Cream donut. I asked, her why she wants to eat something so sweet. She said, it removes your hang over the next day. I am not a drinker so I didn’t know if it was true or not. My friend slept over our home and she woke up like nothing happened to her. That is when I had believed what she had told me was true. It doesn’t have to be a donut it can also be chocolate to remove your hangover. One day my employee told me he has an overhang from drinking last night. I couldn’t stop laughing at him. I told him next time eats chocolate and it is not called, over hang. It is called, hangover and we both laughed at each other. Q. Why does anything sweet cure your hang ove...
