The first food truck we saw outside was Max's Restaurant. You should see how giddy my sister was at the thought of Max's fried chicken.

Perusing the menu, I knew I would order the pork barbecue and palabok, then at the bottom of the menu was puto bumbong. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find puto bumbong in Vancouver? I ordered two of the purple rice cake.
It was delicious and nostalgic for Christmas back in the Philippines.

The barbecue was thicker cut, and the palabok was okay as well. However, I prefer both dishes from elsewhere.
We had our Max's food-to-go and enjoyed it in our home with Mama and my younger sister.
Where to buy Puto Bumbong in Metro Vancouver?
Honestly, I have no idea. I am reviewing the Max's Restaurant menu in Vancouver and it seems like the puto bumbong we had is a one-time thing. I will update this post once I found a vendor.
Update:
I found a Facebook vendor selling Filipino snacks and rice cakes: KakaNinz! Her menu includes puto bumbong. I'll order from her, but she's pick-up only. I'll see what I can do.
