Nanay Aida has been selling this steamed delicacy for about 40 years now. The know-how of cooking puto bumbong came from her grandmother. By the way, they sell puto bumbong the whole year round! "Tuluy- tuloy, hindi na kami tumigil. Kaya maraming natutuwang mga balikbayan. Dati raw nakakakain lang sila, Ber lang. Mabuti raw kami nagstraight na, whole year. Pag uuwi sila galing sa ibang bansa, may nakakakain silang puto bumbong, " Nanay Aida expressed.
