oh, yes, wilson, you remind me..our maids used to put banana leaves on the plantsa rest. did it have any purpose other than to make the room smell of bibingka? did it not stain the clothes that were pressed? i also recall my lola telling me that the green fresh pinipig got its color from bring rubbed between banana leaves and pandan (for the smell). any truth to this?

Fried-neurons, my relatives from the US introduced us to what they call “bibingcake” which uses Bisquick too! It’s actually quite good; even though bibingka is easy to buy here, my family now likes to make bibingcake at home once in a while.

In Malaysia we have many Indian restaurants that offer “banana leaf rice”. White rice is serve on a big banana leaf. Usually 2 types of cooked vegetables and 1 fresh mixture of cucumber, pineapple and sliced green chilli mixed with diluted yoghurt are provided with the rice. And there is a choice of chicken, fish or chickpea curry (dhal). The banana leaf heighten the aroma of the rice and increases one’s enjoyment of the meal.

The traditional “nasi lemak” (rice steamed with coconut milk and pandan leaf) is wrapped in banana leaf, giving the rice its unique flavor. This is one of the most popular choices for breakfast. Of course, the rice come with basic additions like curry (or sambal, a thick chili paste cooked with anchovies, shallots and sometimes shrimps), hard boiled egg, fried anchovies, fried peanuts and some other more expensive options.

Here in Oz (Australia),it costs us $8.00/kilo,pinoys here still buy it – just can’t help it kasi anything cooked in banana leaves is just pure heaven.

same with apicio, we prefer use the “butuan” banana…not for the fruit but for the leaves….the taste it imparts on food is very different than the regular banana tree and smells good when ironing clothes….
