Filipino Dessert Recipes Buchi

I remember ordering buchi like a dessert after having some Siopao Asado. It really tastes great especially if you get the gulaman drink from our side. There are many kinds of filling that can be utilized for Buchi. The most typical is that the sweetened red bean paste as the ube and condensed milk mixtures will also be becoming popular. You‘ll use any filling you want so long as it suits your taste.
