Immediately following a Simbang Gabi mass, a popular early breakfast fare is Puto Bumbong, "a purple sticky rice delicacy which is steamed in bamboo tubes, with brown sugar and coconut shavings as condiments ..." ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Christmas_traditions#Misa_de_Gallo_.28Dec._16-24.29 ) Best eaten with a hot cup of salabat (ginger tea) or tsokolate eh! (thick Spanish cocoa). :-9
