Filipino Suman! Sweet Treat Wrapped in Banana Leaves

Suman

Food Travel Log
The way food is wrapped shows cultural differences. At the City Market in Baguio, I discovered a gourmet dish called Suman, made of glutinous rice and coconut milk. Unwrap the triangular leaf, and it feels moist, sweet, and sticky against the lips like a snack. In the Philippines, banana leaves are often used for wrapping. In Japan, it would probably be bamboo leaves.
