Puto bumbong lovers, your favorite holiday treat just got a Wendy’s glow-up—ready for a twist on tradition?

It’s payday, the perfect time to treat ourselves, especially with the ever-changing weather in the Philippines. For fans of traditional Pinoy desserts , there’s now a new twist to enjoy your puto bumbong . Carmina ordered’  Wendy's Philippines ’ latest offering—the Putobumbong Frosty —available in two sizes: 6oz for 87.85 pesos ($1.49) or a tub for 125.35 pesos ($2.12).  She opted for the tub, skipping the smaller size entirely. The classic puto bumbong, made from purple sticky rice with grated cheese and latik sauce , gets an upgrade in Wendy’s version, which adds leche flan , rice crispies, and creamy vanilla frosty. A sweet treat perfect for those with a sweet tooth. Carmina preferred it served separately, as the puto bumbong is hard and chewy to eat. I guess I’m just used to having it without ice cream. That’s just my preference—others might enjoy it as it is. NOT SPONSORED. Check out my channel where you can find my videos at  Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel ...

We don't want to haggle with long lines and waiting to wrap our Christmas gifts. Every year I always do my Christmas ahead of my family and friends. I do it on the month of September when I have just traveled to California during my summer vacation. My boxes have been shipped to my home. I tend to ask my family and friends for their hand me downs. They always have it ready before my arrival. I start shopping online and have it delivered to my home. When you shop during the month of October, November and December the prices have increased in the stores. In the Philippines we start decorating our stores when September starts. You will hear Christmas songs on the radio station on the month of October. During this time we are already planning for our Christmas Party. Some hotel ha...

Cebu, Philippines

Everytime my mom gets one year older she would rather not have a big party on her birthday. She would rather travel and run away to experience a new destination.  This time my mom wanted to visit Cebu. This vacation we didn't have a tour guide we just explored on our own. This is how the ceiling looks like from then bottom Steam Lapu Lapu Crab cooked with butter and garlic Adobo kangkong This is where you have to order your food before you can seat down in the restaurant. All the seafood are fresh and you can tell them how you want it to be cooked. This is their old bridge in Mactan Cebu. We just stayed in the Waterfront Hotel and Casino to take pictures of the surrounding.
