Casa San Pablo Viaje del Sol




When my daughter saw the huge lawn and the trees, she walked out on her own, spread her arms and exclaimed "wow!"

Pinaltok at Suman



Pinaltok is one of the commonly served snack in Laguna. It is made of balls of malagkit (sticky) rice with small sago (tapioca) cooked slowly on coconut milk flavored with pandan leaves with a hint of langka (jackfruit). This is the favorite of my Inay. It was a trip down memory lane when we visited Casa San Pablo.

Suman are wrapped in banana leaves. Made of sticky rice as well but cooked differently. I think it is streamed. But not really sure. I should refer you to the experts on this one. But despite my initial hesitation of additional carbs, eventually I cannot stop myself from peeling another one and enjoying the simple and irresistable fare.
