Can't find some good treats for the holidays (or vacation)? Try out this classic Puto Bumbong recipe, traditionally made for the Christmas season in the Philippines. It's essentially lilac-colored "glutenous" rice covered in butter, sprinkled with coconut, and wrapped in a banana leaf...drool.  The festive purple, yellow, and green colors intermix into a bright festive dessert.
