Last minute. Sixty pieces. All gone before noon.
A first-time customer in Goodyear reached out just a day before their office potluck on May 14th — they needed something Filipino, something crowd-friendly, and something that would actually impress the office. She landed on puto cheese, and honestly, it was the right call.
Puto is a Filipino steamed rice cake — soft, slightly sweet, and topped with a sliver of sharp cheese that melts just enough from the warmth of the steam. Sixty pieces came packed into trays lined with red-checkered paper, chalkboard sign and all. Set out on the potluck table next to the usual office spread, they stood out immediately.
The customer texted after: coworkers kept asking where they came from. A few asked for Anne’s number on the spot.
That’s the thing about puto at an office potluck — most people have never had it, and most people immediately want more of it. It’s finger food, it’s unfussy, and it tastes like something someone’s grandmother made. Because it kind of is.

Planning lesson from this order
Puto cheese works well for office potlucks because it is simple, easy to share, and does not need a big setup. If you are bringing Filipino food to work, choose items that are easy for people to take in small portions first.
