Still couldn’t find any Millet here in Darwin. I miss budbud kapog….mmmm. My cousins would always stash a lot of budbud kapogs from Cebu to Manila and would just microwave it when the longing sets in.

I am not sure if she has a shop but she does sell by the roadside somewhere. Contact her at the numbers I listed in the post and she will let you know where to reach her…

Ken, I am glad you liked the budbud kabog… And yes, they are terrific value. I understand her son or daughter tend to answer the mobile phone numbers and she is out SELLING her budbud… Anyway, its nice to know I wasn’t the only one thrilled with her budbud…

Marketman! My god! I finally went to Cebu after months of waiting for the ‘perfect’ time…naturally, I gave Mrs. Abucay a call (Grabe ah! She’s always out of the house and doesn’t answer her mobile phone) and ordered a hundred pieces for pasalubong. Her budbud kabogs are so good and very reasonably priced…she’s so nice pa so I like her na…will definitely reccomend her to my friends and families. Thanks MM!

Millet is a kind of grain/seed of a grassy plant. It looks like the birdseed that pet birds eat but is totally different. Try an organic foods store in one of the fancy malls in Jakarta, they may have organic millet. I also have posts on the ingredient itself.

Lawrence, no, I don’t think the substitution is a good idea. You might want to make a regular suman instead…

MM… no millet in manila?!?!?! can i substitute it with giniling na malagkit from the palengke?

as for mooncakes, i like the ones with egg yolk, single OR double yolk, and with the oil from the yolk still running as you slice it… yummm!!! ever tried the WHITE kind of mooncake? i’ve only bought it from hongkong… it’s a diabetic’s nightmare on overdrive!
