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 ...

Expired Food

I was just cleaning and organizing my in-law’s refrigerator with Manang Vcenta and I came across yogurt that has been expired from last year on the month of November and December.

The problem is the person who bought the food that is expired was our old employer who is no longer working for us. We never knew what items are being purchased because during that time it was Ruth’s responsibility. We realized the old food and the newly purchase food wasn’t being rotated while it was stock up in the refrigerator or on the shelves. We realize how much money is going to waste, but you also need to think of the person who may end up eating it and how much it will harm someone else’s health. The fact that it is already expired too long we don’t want to risk other people to consume it and end up being food poison. We have to think how much it will cost if you are...

Filipino Dishes Serve Not Only in the Philippines

Coming from the Philippines and entering back to California my family will always ask what I want to eat from there. I would always tell them anything except Filipino food because I eat it every day at home. Even though you visit your family their favorite meal is always Filipino dishes made by someone they ordered for one week supply. There are some families who work hard to support their families and no time to cook a healthy meal. Other families find ways to feed their children who come home from school, work and so on they tend to pack meals ahead of time. The only thing their family needs to do is warm it up when they come home. Living in the States it becomes more efficient to find ways to eat a meal and not have to worry what your family will eat when you are not at home. I get stuck eating Filipino food because I am living with my family and I have no choice to eat what is served at the table. My sister and her family members love buying food from differe...
