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 ...

Carmina's Late Lunch Vegetable Cream Chowder from Old Baguio Cafe, Quezon City, Philippines

Carmina doesn't need to go to Baguio City to get some fresh vegetables. All she needs to do is purchase food that is ready to eat. Carmina went looking for vegetables soup for her meal. Carmina decided to order vegetable cream chowder from  Old Baguio Cafe . I had placed my order through Grab Food Delivery arrived with a brown paper bag and inside a plastic container it was sealed up no spillage.  The vegetable cream chowder was still hot placing it in a bowl.  It has bread floating on the vegetable chowder soup. The price of the cream vegetable chowder soup 250.00 pesos ($4.55) not including delivery fee. The serving is big enough to fill me the whole day. It was very good not to worry not eating any seafood in your cream chowder. I am on a challenge staying away from any meat or shellfish.  It depends on if you're a type of person if you eat a lot or someone like me can get full easily. NOT SPONSORED.

Last week I went grocery shopping and purchase some vegetables planning to make some chicken afritada, chicken curry and other dishes with meat. All a sudden I had skin allergies and was told to stay away from any meat and fish we have to figure what we can cook out of our meal. I was informed by my cousin Mariles not to eat any food that is fried. I don't have access of a oven in the house.  I have to think what I can eat with my vegetables.
