For 3 day's straight, I've been snacking on one of my favorite filipino dessert snacks called Suman, a cloud of sticky, sweet rice flavored with coconut milk and brown sugar wrapped in a hefty banana leaf and steamed to perfection......SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!!
4 Simple Steps to Eating Suman Properly
Step #1
Gaze upon its beauty. Smell the fragrant banana leaf. Let it flirt with your senses...you will know when it's time to open it once your mouth starts watering :p
Step #2
Pretend it's Christmas morning, and slowly and carefully unwrap your present. Continue gazing upon it's beauty. Let it know you're fully committed to enjoying this experience.
Step #3
Smother it with your love...in the form of sugary sweet crystals of....love....sugar....yeah lol.
Step #4
EAT IT! ENJOY IT! & most importantly, SAVOR IT because you may not know when you'll be having this experience again! :)
until then, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
Recipe coming soon!!
My friend is half philipina and made some for a bunch of us, I was hesitant to try it at first and took a bite to be polite. I was pleasantly surprised!! so delicious! I dipped mine with condensed milk (so bad for me!) Next time I'll try the "sugary crystals of love" lol. Take care and love the blog!
ReplyDeleteI love it, I love it.. I tried it with the sugary crystal but it was like two years back.. :( One of my students' mum made it.. She was a filipino.. I really miss the taste.. :(

I love suman. We eat them here all the time. They say that going to Antipolo, Rizal is the best suman (I could be wrong). Some fry the suman to make it crispy. :)
