(Puto with Sweet Macapuno)
Yesterday power was off for the whole day,it was still snowing but not that bad,it was cold because we have no heater at all but we survived.We played monopoly during the day and we gathered in the living room when the night falls,we talked and for me it was like we were bonding as a family.We slept all in the sala even our dogs.
(puto-ube with cheese)
Around 3 am,I woke up and glad that the power was back on,since I been resting for the whole day I decided to make some "puto-ube",everyone was still in their deep slumber.I made myself a cup of hot coffee and continued the preparation.
While waiting for the puto to be cooked,I found a jar of Sweet Macapuno in our pantry,I decided to mixed it with the remaining puto-ube mixture,I just steam it longer to be sure it will have a nice consistency.
I just made like 5 pcs of puto with sweet macapuno and when I tasted it,I love it,the texture and taste really goes together.So from now on,I will make some of puto with the mixture of macapuno for it gives a different taste from the usual puto.
