Findin’ Budin

As a kid visiting Bicol, one of the things I’d constantly look forward to is being able to eat “Budin”

This is a traditional dessert in Bicol. It’s a small cake made of pili nuts, with whole piles on top. They’re square shaped and we’re wrapped in white paper.

Lolo Doring and Lola Pining’s house in Malinao would never run out of budin, and they were so good that it wasn’t uncommon for me to finish a pack in one sitting.

It’s been a while since we had this at home, mainly because it’s been years since my last trip to Bicol.

The next time i’m there, this will be one of the things that i’ll make sure to find.
