Making steam *Rice cake* or *Puto in Tagalog*  is super easy. This delicious snack is  famous in my country, *Philippines*. I remember having it  most of the time during childhood, especially Birthday parties. A perfect snack, breakfast or have it anytime of the day. Best with soup or have it alone.
