The smell of freshly made latik (solid coconut curds) bring me back to the celebration of Undas (All Saints Day and All Souls Day) on my childhood days. The food, the lighted candles, the candle wax balls, flowers and short break from school. I clearly remember all that.
These days means extra time to play with cousins and friends. But when I smell the aroma of the coconut coming from my nanay's (mom's) kitchen, I hurried back home as fast I could. That's because I want to be around whenever mom is cooking . I was so interested on what and how she's doing (and for me to taste it first). I normally helped my mom in the kitchen even on my early age. From mixing to eating. :)
Being away from my family is sad especially when there's an occasion or holiday. But being away also gives me the courage to try things on my own like cooking different Filipino dishes and delicacies. Besides, my nanay is just a call or text away to guide me on my kitchen adventure.
Here are some of the famous Filipino delicious cassava and glutinous rice cakes on All Saints Day.
These cakes are pretty heavy on stomach. I suggest, get your tea or coffee ready on the side if your having a slice and don't forget to share no matter how good it is.
