My fave is the flavored suman (mango, ube or coco mas) from Tita Lynn's.. P25 per piece! Another "cheap" eat would be hot pandesal with condensed milk paired with coffee, or the kakanin slices sold in the palengke.. ;) I love suman too!

Were you able to find the mochi balls? I bought again this afternoon at Landmark Trinoma and found out that it is at the imported chocolates section. There is also another variant Mochi Almond choco, it has almonds beneath the chocolate coating. I can't include it though in the contest because it costs 54.90, nonetheless affordable pa din. :) Hi Lori. It’s me again. Were you able to find the mochi balls?

I think it should be mentioned that photo entries should be participants' original work or should be taken by the contestants themselves?

Hi Lani,
Good point, but I think it’s inferred. This *is* the 3rd week already that the contest has been running.

My mom would fry this in a bit of Anchor Butter for extra crunch, character, and calories!

The wrappings don't look like banana leaves. I usually eat the suman dunked in a cup of hot chocolate thickened with peanut butter. I agree with Millet, I think she’s right.
