SUBSCRIBEBudbud kabog at Legazpi Village Sunday market
I have read an issue from a newspaper more than a few weeks ago about the Legazpi Village Sunday market in Makati City. Before heading to Greenbelt for the 4th Spanish Film Festival last Sunday, I dropped by this place to check it out. There were many stalls selling different items from food to decor: organic fruits, roasted calf, fresh diwa shells and crabs and prawns fresh from Panay, succelent burgers that are cheap and delicious (with an option of mayo wasabe or blue cheese) and native delicacies ranging from rice cakes, puto to suman like budbud kabog.
Budbud kabog (budbud is Cebuano for suman) is one of the delicacies that can be found in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. Usually sold in market stalls and in the pier as pasalubong, I’m always delighted to have a bite of this sweet and delectable concoction that is mainly prepared from a type of sticky grain (dawa?) and wrapped in banana leaves that are then steamed.
The ones at the market were cooked in Alabang. These are bigger than those available in Dumaguete and costs P20 per peice.
