somewhere along the sidestreets of silang, cavite we saw this puto taktak made of cassava, placed in milk cans and steamed, then buttered or star “margarined” for that matter, then rolled in muscovado sugar. sarap for only P5.00.

Is the texture the same as that of sago palm starch suman? Sago palm is called ambugong or ambulong in aklan or in panay...cooked sago palm is gummy and they add up huge quantities of young coconut or ''alangan'' or ''gumaan'' to make it more palatable...and also sago palm starch is darker and reddish...I heard that buri (Buli in Tagalog) palm can really be a good source of starch but one needs to cut down the tree before it flowers...otherwise the starch content woulb be used up by the palm during flowering or fruiting stage...and im betting it would really entail ''Man Power'' to cut down and cut open the Humungous Buri Palm! hehe!

@Lava: Three different kinds of seaweeds served with onion/tomatoes vinaigrette on the side. No pork on it. And yes, you can order the seaweed salad as a vegetarian.

@ Dodi, did the seaweed salad come with any pork at all? Or can you order the seaweed salad as a vegetarian? Thanks.

Will this be offered in Zubuchon restos soon? I love the budbud kabog. Hope that you will also offer Sister’s jams soon. The calamansi jam was so good! :)

Forgive me for a little diversion MM: I am in Cebu now for a weekend getaway and after a few minutes hotel rest, my friend and I went to Zubuchon Mango for lunch right away. It was a fantastic experience! My friend and I consumed almost a kilo of Zubuchon lechon, had an order of seaweed salad (rarely have it in Manila), and 4 huge iba shakes!!! Of course, it included the heavenly chicharon!! Bought pasalubongs as well, marmalades, chicharon and jams…oh I musn’t forget the super sarap suman budbud! LOL! I must say MM, your Zubuchon is enough reason to fly to Cebu..congratulations!
Do you think your restaurant can feature artisanal delicacies like this puto buli?
