BLOGROLLFEATURED PINOY TRAVELER | Current FavouriteThe SUMAN in BALER, AURORA:
 More impressive than the waves in Baler for me is their native suman! They're perfect with Milo Chocolate drink in the morning. Unlike other suman varieties, you don't have to add "latik" or coco-caramel, sugar or anything else to it. Just peel and eat! The earthy-sweet taste complements chocolate well though, and this is what makes it special. They make it with locally-grown brown sticky rice, coconut milk, and some brown sugar in the right proportions and steam it.
Only a few vendors sell these in their central market and along the beach and only in the morning. And our almost-a-Baler-local friend told us that every suman vendor has their own version of it. So the next time you go to Baler to surf, don't forget to bring instant chocolate drinks and sample their suman! |
