I love puto seko. It is sweet and crunchy. Be sure though to have a ready glass or bottle of water whilst eating this puto seko. It tend to make you gasp for breath, I think it is because of its very fine cornstarch content.
Be warned that puto seko may not be for eating and talking at the same time especially for the novice! It is worth it though for the taste.
Below is a recipe I picked up from www.agripinoy.net
