Nothing signals the arrival of the BER months in the Philippines quite like the gentle steam rising from a freshly cooked bamboo tube of puto bumbong. That delicious purple rice treat, slathered with softened butter, showered with freshly grated coconut, and finished with a dusting of grated panutsa, is comfort food at its finest. This year, legendary Filipino restaurant Via Mare is giving food lovers an irresistible excuse to start the holiday feast extra early.
