Delicious Puto And Kutsinta

I've heard about Rocha's delicious puto and kutsinta from my tita who has been ordering from them for years.   My tita said that I'd be lucky if I passed by their store and they were open.  Reason is that they close store when all their puto and kutsinta are sold out.  And take note, these tasty goodies get sold out as early as mid- afternoon.

It was only this morning that I got to taste it and I have to say their tagline is true.  It is delicious !

Their puto at first looks like kutsinta because of the color.  But even if it doesn't look like the standard white-colored puto, it really is puto with cheese on top sporting a different shade of color.

They sell a box of puto for P99. and each box contains 48 pieces.   The best thing I like about their puto is that it's very soft and chewy.   Unlike some brands of puto I've tasted which are hard and lumpy, this kind can melt in your mouth (if you can resist not chewing it up at first bite).

The Original Rocha's Delicious Puto and Kutsinta accepts made to order for all occasions.  

You can reach them at 941-1519 for reservations.  Their locatedacross the Children's Clinic along E. Mendoza street in Sto. Nino around the paliparan area.

Paliparan, The Long Stretch of a Road

The long one way roads connecting Bayan and Concepcion are collectively called Paliparan.  One end connects to Shoe Avenue, one of the main roads in Bayan, Marikina City and the other end leads to Bayan-Bayanan Ave. where the Immaculate Concepcion Church is located.  Their actual road names are E. Santos St. (one way from Bayan to Concepcion) and E. Rodriguez St.  (one way from Concepcion to Bayan).

Both roads are parallel to each other. This is a prime road for motorists as jeeps from Montalban, San Mateo, Parang and SSS Village all traverse this road to get to Bayan.  It's basically a straight and flat road.

Ever wondered why they call those roads  Paliparan ?

Well, during the Japanese occupation, this area used to be a Japanese airfield which planes used to land and take off, hence "Paliparan", which is Tagalog for "runway".  This is also the reason why this multi-kilomter road is so straight.

So the next time you pass Paliparan, think of passing through a road that used to be a airplane runway.
