Puto of Calasiao, Pangasinan |
After we visited San Pablo Church, as we walked to the entrance. We suddenly decided to buy the “puto” in pacing stall # 5. It is across the local park of Calasiao. It is the best thing to have it for siesta in the afternoon.
For traveler or visitor from different places in the Philippines cannot refuse to grab a bite of sticky white “puto” in Calasiao for Php 80.00 per kilo. The central area of Pangasinan from Dagupan going to the town proper of Calasiao, riding a jeepney for Php 10.00 is worth to have a short journey. You cannot be lost along the travel, since Senor Divino Tesoro Church is the trademark of Calasiao.
