Have your tried the not-so-ordinary steamed rice cake called Puto Bao?
Puto or steamed rice cake is one of the Filipino classic desserts that is usually served during holidays or eaten during snack or merienda.
It is usually paired with other Filipino dishes such as dinuguan or pancit.
Since it became one of the Pinoy favorites, the varieties of puto are plentiful as almost all regions of the Philippines have their own versions of it.
But what's trending right now is the Batangas Puto Bao, which is made by entrepreneur Andy Caguitla, a local of Tanauan City, Batangas.
What's different about Andy's Puto Bao is that it has bukayo filling and it comes in six flavors-- original filling, strawberry, matcha, langka, and ube macapuno.
Bukayo is a jam made with coconut strips in a mixture of coconut water and sugar.

Here are all the ingredients you'll need to make Andy's Puto Bao:
