puto,sikwate and sweet mango

                                     stick rice puto and sikwate

                                               puto and sikwate in plate

                       Before bread, pancakes, and even cereal invaded the Cebu and Visayan breakfast tables,

              there was puto and sikwate.

              Puto in Cebu is steamed sticky rice which is gradually mixed with coconut milk while being cooked.

             To taste, sugar, small amounts of salt, and ginger are added. Sikwate, on the other hand, is hot

             choco drink from chocolate tablets called tabliya made of dried and pulverized cacao seeds.

              Sometimes, the puto was occasionally paired with ripe mango which is also a very abundant fruit

            in Cebu (one of the popular local delicacies are dried mangoes).Try now the Puto and Sikwate with

            mango.Loved it!!!!!!!!
