Puto Cheese Galore!

It's a long way from Hong Kong to my own kitchen in Quezon City, working as a seller in the Philippines. But there is some progress:

Today was a big Puto Cheese day - I sell like a pro, hehe, just kidding! I made a whole batch: some for a birthday order that came in (thank you, ate!), and the rest I sold on my own, one by one, to pedestrians near my area and neighbors. Every single piece sold felt like a small victory. I am starting to enjoy it again when the steam is rising from the pots and the smell of fresh puto fills the house, and I am looking forward to more.

I won't sugarcoat it though: being the maker, the seller, AND the clean-up crew all at once is no joke. After steaming batch after batch, arranging them nicely, packing orders, and then scrubbing the kitchen my legs were tired and my back was complaining. But I am here for all of it — puto by puto, day by day.

To everyone who ordered, shares my post, or even just cheered me on: salamat po. You have no idea how much it means. ❤️ And don't forget: If you are in Quezon City and craving puto cheese, message me for orders!
