Puto

I am running out of idea what to prepare for my gal's breakfast.  Since she like the Yema Cake which has cheese on it.  I decided to try this Puto, a steam cake that is enjoy by many Filipinos.  

Hopefully she will like it.

Findings: I seldom add so much colouring to food that I feed kids and this time round, I was too heavy handed.  Thus I will reduce this to 2 drops of colouring rather than 3 drops next time.

I will also add cheese after Puto is cooked rather than then 15 sec before steaming time as my cheese melted.
