Puto and Sikwate in Cabadbaran

Cabadbaran City is the capital of Agusan del Norte. Its famous for its overflowing water and vast ricefields.  Its also a major stop for travelers being an important political and economic center along the Surigao-Butuan highway. 

If you happen to stop at Cabadbaran, I can recommend to take a hot breakfast Filipino style at the Painitan sa Cabadbaran, just located at the right side of the Bus Terminal if you are standing infront of the building.  

It serves pure hot Chocolate and the puto maya, prepared in Boholano style. Whenever there is huge concentration of Boholano migrants, expect the business of sikwate and puto maya to thrive. For Boholanos, breakfast is just enough with puto and the sikwate. 

There are many ways of enjoying the puto maya. My style is to sprinkle the puto maya with white sugar, and then pour a little bit of chocolate on it.  In its climax, when I have the last spoonful of the puto maya, I just dipped it in the Chocolate before drinking it all. 

Visiting the Painitan sa Cabadbaran is only ideal if youré riding a private vehicle because public transport will not give you enough time to stop and enjoy the puto maya and sikwate.
