My friend who has a catering services gave me her recipe for putongputi, this is my shortcut version of the recipe I will try the original procedure soon so that I can compare which one is whiter
I have recipes for morcon and kilawing labanos at atay ready to be published in my draft box but since I posted my dinuguan a couple of days ago, I thought the best follow up would be its perennial pair, putongputi
Although all-purpose flour, cake flour or even hotcake mixes are also used in making this kakanin, traditional putongputi is made from rice grains soaked in water overnight and processed into a smooth batter called galapong
Side street and pedi cab vendors are selling afternoon snacks like puto, kutchinta, bibingka, kalamay, palitaw and suman are some snacks that are made from local crops flour
A platter of refreshing appetizers kicks off my Culinary Gems experience at Taal Vista Hotel's Cafe Veranda, with Pomelo Coconut Salad, Pickled Papaya and Kalabasa, Ampalaya Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette, Puto Capsicum, and Adobo Flakes with Kesong Puti Tartlets
I will always have fond memories of Cafe Via Mare where I would rest my tired feet (from going around the mall), met with friends, as I snack on my favorite Lumpia Ubod, Enseladang Suha at Labanos, Puto Bumbong, whichever I felt like eating during that time with my staple Sago drink
For dessert, go for a tall slice of Pepita's Kitchen's elegant Mango Trifle, an indulgent dessert with mango mousseline, fresh mangoes, leche flan, rosquillos, and puto seko, all the familiar childhood flavors of Dedet de la Fuente
With the night young and anticipation ramping up,the festivities continued as guests were treated to live music and al fresco cocktails featuring Beringer Sparkling White Zinfandel paired with Kesong Puti (carabao cheese) - Sea Urchin Aburi on Coconut Crispy Rice with Soy Kalamansi and a Plaza Ham Carving Station
The putok-batok is another worth mentioning. The Pancit Puti was also fantastic. For panghimagas, (desserts), nothing beats Mangan's Bibingka with salted egg and puto bumbong
