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 .

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.

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 ...

Following that advice, we chose the Protein Monster, which includes Vietnamese BBQ pork, ham, roasted pork, and omelets, with other ingredients like pâté, cucumber, pickled radish and carrots, mayo, hoisin sauce, and cilantro served on the side. It costs PHP 159.00 for a Jun...
