This is my aunt in Butuan City. She makes the best Budbod and Suman, as well as Biko. It is a specialty food business that their family came to embrace for almost thirty two years. When I visited them last week, I was able to help make these Budbod.. Actually, help in the packaging process, not in the cooking, hehehe.. These are so good, that even the congressman ordered some for his birthday celebration.. which is actually the same date as mine. I can vouch for how good they are as I've grown up with the taste of Budbod along with my grandma's Torta Cebuana and the creamy Binangkal that another aunt makes. But then these days, it's only the Budbod and Biko that stood. With my grandma gone, nobody in the family has sustained the business, even if they do not need advertising flags to make the products known, as they are already famous among my grandma's patrons. And believe me, patrons of my grandma's Torta are aplenty..

The trip in Butuan was meant to rekindle such memories through my aunts' and uncle's cooking, but everything was different when we went there. Health has become a hindrance, and our trip was shortened because I was called to update my portfolio for DepEd Teacher's ranking..

Anyway, above is one of the Budbod I was about to wrap with the banana leaf.. When we were done, I had my share of the Suman, with sugar.. Suman is actually just the white part of the Budbod.
