Puto Bao

Palengke bites are artisanal masterpieces. Beyond its seductive colors and shapes are a back-breaking process, a test of patience, and a profound honor for heritage.

Puto bao is a steamed rice cake using bao ng niyog (coconut husks) as molders and traditionally using pirurutong, glutinous rice in shades of brownish-purple. Every bite comes with a surprise with the rich filling of bukayo or sweetened young coconut strips.

Take a palengke tour with friends and indulge in a wealth of delicious discoveries!
