Suman

Suman is a Filipino rice cake steamed in banana leaves. The ingredient of suman is the glutenous rice (malagkit) which is cooked with coconut milk (gata). Among the many varieties are suman sa ibos, suman sa lihiya. Few weeks ago a bunch of friends went to our friends house and made suman. This is how it look when you peel the banana leaves. You can deep the suman with sugar, or brown sugar and with hot pure cocoa (sikwati) and or coffee it does taste good.

Biko, Suman etc

                  These are some of the "kakanin" snacks that I so missed. I can see these in the market or some vendors will go from house to  house selling these stuff. Just looking by it, it makes me very hungry, lol!

Suman sa Clarin, Misamis Occidental

We were going to Rama beach at Clarin, Mis. Occ. for my nephews 10th birthday celeb when we passed this huge cottage. I asked my brother what was that all for since the cottage looks new to me. He told me that it was one of the Mayors project in that town, Clarin is known to make good suman. So I asked my brother to gave me a ride back and when we were there I was surprised all my favorite suman are there. Talagang super yummy I was having a blast shopping for different kinds of suman. Here are some of the pics...
