My afternoon snack today

The burger in the fast food is considered junk food.

There's still the crumbs, waheehee.

@Alexandoy Where can I buy it?

@jobelbojel you can try the market.

It's new to me as well that's why I bought to taste it. Pretty good, I'd say.

@Alexandoy I am glad that we do not have many foreign fast food here. People love to have the traditional food.

@LadyDuck that is nice because the country is trying to defend the native foods against the foreign foods. But here it is the opposite. The fast food outlets are lording it over in towns and in cities. Even in a faraway rural province, I was surprised that people are patronizing the fast food and had almost forgotten their native food.

I actually miss our native snacks because of the foreign food from the fast food outlets - burgers and fries, pizza, etc.

I am eating it now, waheehee.

you would need a lusong to pound it

I already tried once but it is not Nilupak but Minukmok which is the banana saba instead of cassava.

@hereandthere yes, I borrowed a bigger lusong to pound the boiled banana with grated coconut and sugar. It was not easy so I did not make one again, waheehee.

@Alexandoy Hmm, maybe why many did not bring it up. They always said cakes like America.

The native foods particularly the snack foods are surpassed by pizza and burgers in popularity that some even think they are already extinct.

@crossbones27 native snack foods are not popular anymore to the masses.

No, I just bought it in the mall where we had our dogs groomed.

Yes, native and healthy.

Yes indeed. It was a great snack that I missed for quite a time.

The brown toppings is caramelized brown sugar in coconut milk. The violet part is a sticky mix from the glutinous rice.

@Nevena83 waheehee so delicious.

@Alexandoy Oh, I got hungry.

Yes, I love that native snack.

@Alexandoy Great

If you remember kalamay that means you are my contemporary, waheehee. Kalamay was the term used for that but now that I am residing in a suburban town with the specialty but they call it Bibingka. I wonder why the confusing name.

@StyleWithSense you are right, that is the sticky pudding.

@Alexandoy Yeah many regions in the Philippines have a different interpretation or a name of a common dish/delicacy haha! Kalamay is also sticky pudding/spread in Bohol it's their famous delicacy.. Thanks for your reply!

Ouch tonsils are spoilers when it comes to sweets.

@Sheiii tonsilitis is painful.

@Alexandoy yes, too bad. ??

Thank you, it is really tasty and filling that even 3 people couldn't finish it yesterday.

Yes, it is actually delicious and it's been a long time since I had eaten that.

There was sapin-sapin but I did not buy.

Yes, it is one good native snack that is a specialty of our town.

Yes, the native snack food here is said to be healthy to eat.

No, it is heavy to the stomach so there were 3 of us who ate. But there's still some leftover and that can be my mid morning snack, waheehee.
