Now who doesn't love puto? One of my favorites before was the puto I christened "Puto Calaboa" as it was made in Brgy. Calaboa Santa Barbara, Iloilo.
But after sometime, they supply stopped coming to town as the maker of the puto had some personal health issues.
Now enter another puto maker from Santa Barbara - this time coming from Brgy. Lanag, an adjacent baranggay to the poblacion.
Wrapped in 5's using banana leaves, the puto is made fresh daily every morning. The puto-maker just make a limited batch so as to ensure the quality and avoid having oversupply to be sold the following day.
The puto smells very good as if you are already eating it. Each bite (though I could easily eat it all in one bite) gives a full flavour esp. of the richness of the coconut milk.
Its the kind of puto that you can't stop eating given its almost dainty size at the same time rich flavour - but it's not "makasalum-od" (nakaka-umay).
A typical 5-piece pack of puto costs around Php15.
