Love & Suman

My mom recently took a road trip w/ a few of her friends to Cleveland, OH to visit one of their relatives--a short break from her grinding schedule. It was nice to see her have some fun with the girls, but most especially it was nice to see her back with some goodies or in tagalog we call it, "pasalubong" in the form of filipino yummies haha.

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
