| Suman Malagkit |
Suman is a variety of kakanin found in the Philippines. Suman is made of malagkit or glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves and gradually cooked. I love sumang malagkit so much!
I am always craving for this kakanin as in I always go out to find a store selling suman. One day, i realized that I can also learn how to make this kind of kakanin too.
It's not too difficult as I thought, and when I learned the procedure, i do it almost every week as long as i have time. this suman procedure is an original recipe of my 70 year old auntie, she's been cooking suman malagkit to sell for almost 40 years now. So I am very sure that this recipe is the best suman recipe you'll ever find online. This is called suman malagkit of Batangas.
