Ven's Puto Seko


We visited Anita's house without an appointment, and she dug deep in her secret chest of goodies to serve us merienda.  Lo and behold, a can of Ven's puto seko made our day!  This Lucban-made delicacy is made from rice flour and wass often served with salabat for afternoon tea.  Its defining property makes it a favorite for whistling contests--it saps up all traces of moisture in your mouth to the point that you can almost feel Hulk Hogan's arm choking your throat. I used to enjoy this when I was a kid.

    1. Unfortunately, it was a gift to Anita, so she doesn't know where you can buy some. The data from the can label just mentioned that it was made in Lucban, Quezon. Sorry, am not much help...

  2. Found some at the ground floor of the Landmark Department store in Makati. There's a counter near Mercury Drug that has a lot of local food products on display. Check it out!
