Best Pasalubong from Butuan City

Last month, I visited the lovely City of Butuan and discovered the best Butuan pasalubong treat, which is the Ube Biko. The Ube Biko is not your typical rice cake. It exquisitely combines the sweet taste of biko, or rice cakes, and the distinct flavor of ube. You might be wondering why I’m writing this blog, and there’s only one reason: I’m addicted to it!

For many years, my Aunt has always given me pastillas, suman, and other native rice cakes as pasalubong from Butuan. But when I discovered the Ube Biko, boy was I instantly hooked! This was not like the other delicacies that I have tasted. This ube biko is definitely one in a million! It tastes like creamy ube jam combined with the traditional biko. Plus, it has cheese toppings, with the native “lunok” right on top of it! The result is an exquisite mixture of flavors that truly melts in your mouth.

The ube biko is created by Butuan Something Special. Butuan Something Special is a homemade business, with Herminia Faeldo as the main proprietor. She has definitely turned her hobby into a flourishing business, and people just can’t get enough of her pastries! Butuan Something Special is the home of a variety of other desserts, such as chocolate cakes, blueberry cheesecakes, and delicious cookies and cupcakes.

According to the owner, more and more people order the ube biko as Butuan pasalubong treats. Some even take these treats to foreign countries, including the United States, Canada and Australia.

The ube biko has definitely become one of Butuan’s best delicacies. So if you are looking for the best pasalubong treat from Butuan, visit Butuan Something Special for your very own ube biko treat. Trust me, this is one treat that you’ll never forget.
