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 ...

We've been exploring and order their other dishes that they are cooking a great way to see what other specialties they may have that we haven't yet discovered. Chicharon Bulaklak is eaten with a night with alcohol with your friends but for my mom since she doesn't drink any she prefer drinking with soft drinks. Chicharon Bulaklak from Ha-inan sold for PHP 295.00 enough to feed 2 - 3 people noted down when you place you're order. It comes with spicy vinegar and calamansi to dip it with your Chicharon Bulaklak. You can ...
