Budbud Kabog

Made from millet grains (not rice) and coconut gata, this is my favorite suman of all time.  There is nothing like it, and for me, no other suman compares.  This is made popular by the people from Dumaguete (Negros Oriental), where Kong Kong was born.  Every time some relatives come to Manila, the pasalubong of choice is budbud kabog.  You can find this on Saturday mornings at the Salcedo Village market, just ask for the stall operated by the people from Dumaguete (my last time there though was more a year ago, so I could be wrong).  You can freeze this and it will keep for up to three months, just steam and it is ready to serve.  Soft, distinctive flavor, and absolutely wonderful!
