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 ...

After 5 Years Dining at Sugi Japanese Restaurant

Carmina had a family member who was the one who introduced Sugi Japanese Restaurant to her five years ago. We used to dine there every time there was a special occasion. Upon entering on the left side there will be someone to assist you asking how many you are, so they have found a table for you.  I suggest if you are a lot, you can call ahead and make a reservation.  After entering five years later you notice the decoration and the menu has upgraded. Looking at the menu got me so confused good thing the server was able to explain it to us. Mom Violy's common Japanese food is always the chicken teriyaki bento box. The person helping us said they have items off the menu. Mom Violy was able to get her favorite chicken teriyaki bento box includes with Japanese rice and miso soup. Mom Violy also wanted some sushi, yet she cannot remember what she had ordered. Elle and her friend Esa shared mixed vegetable tempura and sushi that had eel. I am not sure what the name of sushi is....
