December 16 is the start of the Best Filipino Christmas Tradition, Simbang Gabi (Midnight Mass),and after the mass, people will go and buy the famous Christmas delicacy, Puto Bumbong.
Puto bumbong is made of glutinous rice that has a purple/violet hue.It is poured into bumbong (bamboo tubes),then steamed until cooked. It is topped with coconut shreds and muscavado sugar(cane sugar)
It sounds delicious Dennis...I am so enjoying learning more and more and more about your traditions in your country through your posts and photos, always a pleasure...sorry I've been having so much trouble keeping up with everything lately...hence lack of comments on your photos.. :(
