Hello everyone! How is your Sunday? I hope it is fine.
My friend visited me this afternoon although only 2 meters away from each other. She brought me a pack of apple juice from their vacation house town, a rose plant and a can of coconut milk. I am happy to see her as we have not seen each other for a month.
I am glad that she brought me a can of coconut milk as I need it for making suman, a Filipino glutinous rice delicacy packed them in wilted banana leaves. I am making suman now. I will give some of the suman to my Filipino friends who are living nearby.
Anyway, time is really fast. I will be walking again with my friend when the weather is good this week. We will be walking together with social distancing. It is weird but it is for our own sake.
Have a nice day everyone. Thank you always. Take care and safety.

Yes, it is sticky rice steamed with coconut milk and wrapped in banana leaves. Thanks @DocAndersen

We don't prepare anything here wrapping in banana leaves. I've never tried Suman

I know @LowRiderX. The Germans are not doing that, too. It is an Asian kind of cooking.

@LowRiderX Maybe some of the Asian restaurants are making this. We just don´t know.

@Tampa_girl7 I think you are missing your time when you were still here in Germany. Maybe you could come for a visit.

I've tasted it before but I'm not a fan of that dessert. Maybe yours is different.
