Thank you so much for posting this...This works a treat...I used to help my nanay (grandma) wrapping this when I was little. Of course I made a complete mess out of it back then. But bless her, she has always told me I was doing a good job. Looking back at it, now I know my messy wraps didn't make it into the pan in the end. This is actually very very good. I halve the recipe as the banana leaves I got from the chinese supermarket near me was mostly torn and I only managed to salvage enough to wrap half of the recipe. I added a little piece of crushed ginger when i was cooking the rice and took it out before wrapping. I then excitedly drove to my mom's house and I guess the best compliment I could give is that we were actually both crying while we we're eating this. It taste almost like my nanay's suman that we just couldn't help but miss her a lot. She passed away last year. I know I'm getting a little bit carried away but really thank you so much...This brings a lot of happy memories and I will be making this again and again...
