Puto Binan is disappearing

After a really long time, I was able to once again get a fill of Puto Binan over the weekend, and somehow, wanted some real true-blue Binan ones - guess what, according to my research, there is not much of these made in Laguna nowadays. What's more, less and less of traditional markets are carrying this unique type of puto. So I tried to look for recipes in the internet, and lo and behold, there were several that stated you need an INSTANT BROWNIE MIX to make Puto Binan!? What was that? Puto is a rice cake, essentially. So that already excludes anything that has to do with brownies and brownie mixes. I will try to check and see where to buy the best, if not, existing authentic Puto Binan on my next post. I will be in Los Banos this Saturday so it won't hurt to make a side trip somewhere to check out and see if there is still real Puto Binan that can be bought in Laguna or at least in the outskirts of the province.
