Actually Kabog is a native cereal staple food by Cebuanos long before the Spanish colonizer came into the Philippines.
Not corn or rice but Kabog (millet) is the staple food as what Spanish writer wrote (you can see this documents at Museo sa Sugbo(Cebu Museum). The millet species used before was Panicum milliaceum – that is kabog or borona in Cebuano.

Some Cebuanos have plantation of Kabog in some parts of the province of Cebu notably the Mid-North Area which Borbon and Tabogon town belong.

Hi Marketman,

Finally, I tried cooking your Budbud Kabog. My mother and I enjoyed cooking this delicacy which happens to be a common treat from my hometown (Borbon, Cebu) as well. Btw, my earlier term above (by Mich, that’s still me) about the place in Lugo, Borbon where this delicacy is commonly sold wasn’t right…I meant to say SIMANGAN instead of Eskina.:)

I linked your site to my blog post re: budbud kabog. Thanks for the recipe and good luck!

[...] It has been raining the whole week that Mama and I decided to cook some Budbud Kabog or in English, Millet and Sweet Coconut Milk Rolls. Â I remember that last year, I scouted the internet for a Budbud Kabog recipe and I landed at Marketmanâ€™s website Marketmanila.com. [...]

Very tasty looking budbud kabog!!! Will try cookin it someday… :)

For H.C., if I am not mistaken, the place you have in mind is in Logo, Borbon, locally known as “Eskina Logo”. They are known for their budbud kabogs. Your story reminded me of a similar incident back in time…

Hi mm! I was browsing through an aunt’s old recipe book(which is now without its cover and a few pages missing,my mom told me it was published or sourced from cebu) and i saw budbud kabog recipe. I remembered you and your post about it. The recipe is almost like yours but with a lot more sugar. I would definitely want to try making these once i get hold of the main ingredient which i don’t think is available in our area. By the way how did you steam your budbud? The recipe book here says, after folding ends and tying securely with strips of banana leaf, arrange pieces on a lined banana leaves and cover with thin coconut milk and cook for 35 min or until done.
