Thanks for the information. =)
When I...Hi Santos,<br /><br />Thanks for the information. =)<br /><br />When I was in Intermediate school my friend's mother, who was Visayan, used to make puto bumbong often for breakfast. We used to eat it straight out of the steamer topped with butter, coconut and sugar. Served with some coffee (can you believe we drank coffee at that age?), it was so good!Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757257669831271556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1103471834483407242004-12-20T01:57:00.000+10:002004-12-20T01:57:00.000+10:00These have an uncanny resemblance to tupig, the su...These have an uncanny resemblance to tupig, the suman of the Ilocos/Pangasinense region. The cooking procedure's the same, not sure about the tapioca. I love them, especially the young coconut strings in every bite.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551772306674807897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1103466456285283182004-12-20T00:27:00.000+10:002004-12-20T00:27:00.000+10:00whoops did i say 4 inches? i meant 6 inches. no co...whoops did i say 4 inches? i meant 6 inches. no comments from the peanut gallery, please.<br /><br />hey reid<br /><br />i've only ever had <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inq7.net%2Flif%2F2003%2Fdec%2F21%2Flif_3-1.htm">puto bumbong</A> in the philippines, i don't know anyone who would go through the trouble of making it here. as i tend to avoid the philippines during xmas and holy week (too many people!!), and puto bumbong is mostly found during those holidays, i haven't actually seen it in years. <br /><br />i don't think i would make apigigi, either. don't have the knack for it, but then again, i usually have a stash from saipan in the freezer--i just pull a couple out and steam them whenever the urge strikes!santos.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1103463168518835132004-12-19T23:32:00.000+10:002004-12-19T23:32:00.000+10:00Hi Santos,

I probably wouldn't try to make this since I end up ruining these kinds of steamed desserts everytime I try to make them...I made suman once, it was a disaster. By the way, have you ever had puto bumbong? I haven't had it in ages and can't find it anywhere... =(Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757257669831271556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1103456544672618542004-12-19T21:42:00.000+10:002004-12-19T21:42:00.000+10:00helloooo oslo foodie! made a phone call for you, h...helloooo oslo foodie! made a phone call for you, have an approximation of the secret recipe, should you care to try it:<br /><br />apigigi<br /><br />2 c. tapioca<br />1/2 c. dessicated coconut (the unsweetened kind)<br />1/2 c. sweetened coconut milk<br />sugar to taste (most likely 1/4 to 1/2 cup)<br /><br />mix all ingredients together, add more coconut milk if needed to make a sticky but workable dough. form dough into a 1 inch wide, 1/2 inch deep and 4 inch long flattened log and wrap in banana leaves. steam for 25 minutes, then pat dry. you can eat it as is, or grill over coals until it outside begins to char. eat hot or cold.santos.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.com
