I come from Cebu and I MISS EATING PUSO especially with BBQ and NGOHIONG!! MMMMMMMM!!! Sadly, there is none here in Manila.
I had been taught be my driver how to weave the puso container but it is so hard and it takes practice to make it good. Kudos to those puso makers in Cebu! You make the Cebuanos proud

Congratulations! I share with you the fascination with making puso rice pouches.

I am publishing a book with the Ateneo de Manila University Press showing how to weave puso casings, among other things we could weave out of the palm leaves. It will be out early next year, hopefully.

Wow, I remember when I was a kid, my cousin’s yaya taught us how to weave this. We weaved a lot and used it as “sipa.” I didn’t know that you could actually fill it with rice…

I know how to weave the puso container in single (as seen on your tutorial) and the double technique (as seen on the above photo). My ‘siatong’ playmates were allowed to play only after they completed 5000 or more containers. My playmates parents supplied puso in one of the puso stands in market. No one taught me how to weave, I learned by just looking and the countless hours of waiting (which seemed like forever and a day) so we could start ‘siatong’ or ‘tago’tago’.

Used to be so good at this…every time I back home (Cebu) I always ask for puso.

I just forgot how we call this in Pampanga, but we use banana leaves instead of coconut.

Marketman, i have to agree that it’s not easy to make puso. I also had someone show me how to do it but it’s so hard. i think it’s just a matter of doing it over and over. i know that there are different techniques. i took a video of the person teaching me you and your readers can check it out here https://onefilipinodish.com/blog/2008/05/puso-hanging-rice/
