Puto Lanson

No, it's not fried rice! It's called púto lansón; I couldn't photograph it any better, but I wish I could make you taste through this blog. It's another Ilónggo delicacy made by my caretaker, Bukíng and his wife, Cristina. They made it earlier; giniling na kamóteng káhoy (ground cassava) with gatâ (coconut cream), butter, and toasted coconut. It's also got toasted coconut in between, pretty much like a donut filling.


It's yummy! And I didn't know this before; I don't recall ever coming across this native steamed cake. I'm intrigued what else they can cook from our available produce in the farm?

    Hello 1784, I ve heard about this from Mom. I now realize this to be such a unique delicacy emphasized by the toasted coconut filling. I can almost taste this. I'll show this to Mom tomorrow. Good nite 1784 .

    It's been rewarding (and filling!) to learn more about native snacks; and pleasantly surprising how under-rated our cooking culture is.
