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 ...

  My mom is having her own festival in her home. My mom was craving for Paella Valenciana that is rice cooked with chicken, pork, seafood and vegetables. My mom use to eat Alba Restaurante Espanol Mediterranean with her relatives years ago. My mom had missed her Paella Valenciana for PHP 580.00 ($11.16) and requested Carmina to order it through Grab Food being delivered to her home. Paella Valenciana had arrived in a box shown in the picture. For your reference you may refer to their website of  Alba Restaurante Espanol Philippines  to see what you can order from their menu.
