  • Have a Bite, Have a Rice Cake! - Calasiao
 

Centrally located between Dagupan City and Sna Carlos City, Calasiao is a progressive town that is well-known for its native delicacy, puto'. It is a bite-sized, sweetened soft rice cake made from semi-glutinous rice that is fermented in earthen jars. What sets their puto apart from everyone else is that its tastier and has that melt-in-the-mouth feeling and once you start eating, you can't stop. You can find puto anywhere in the Philippines, but when its from Calasiao, its different. There's also a bite-sized kutsinta variety.

You can find puto stalls in front of the Municipal Hall, along the street going to Sr. Divino Tesoro and the church. It is a 20 - 30 min. drive away from Dagupan City.

Address: Calasiao, Pangasinan
