Suman from Antipolo and ripe mangoes. I bought this bunch of suman (sticky rice snack) at the Lung Center weekend market for only P15. We brought it to last Sunday's playdate. It was good because Toni, Hannah and Isay liked it. These suman are wrapped in young coconut leaves. I have always been amazed at the way they wrap this suman. The bunch is then tied with a strand of coconut leaves. I find it very artistic and innovative. All the packaging is biodegradable. It also reflects the amount of time and energy a person has put into wrapping this local kakanin. I am happy that despite the proliferation of plastic, Pinoys still continue this very good way of preparing food.
