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

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

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
