It was a fun feast of "Kakanin".
...for a Wedding Shower..DIYed tropical leaves by a skilled friend and I had Philippine tropical fruits as part of the styling.
If there’s a Filipino food that we can call our own or authentic in its form, recipean compositions, historical and economic background, and true in its indigenal roots, it is the kakanin, and it has been a part of Philippine cuisine as far as history could record, centuries pass centuries..
...Kakanin as a word, and as a merienda-companion is famous to all. Its name was derived from its main ingredient, which is kanin. Not the regular rice but glutinous rice. This native food is always a part and never been missed in the Filipino eating tradition, always in the list of food in every occasion, a favorite merienda and also breakfast.
