Oh I always love cassava cakes but I haven’t tried the ones from the Vargas Family. There’s also one super yummy cassava cake which really melts my mouth and you guys gotta try this one. I’m glad I read an article about it at Cook Magazine (I think that was either their April or May 2009 issue). It’s a special home-made recipe by a certain “Chef Myra Avisado” but the only thing I hate is I always have to order in advance and you have to pick it up at her Philam Homes residence in QC. But anyway, it’s really worth the trip.

Just one favour, I tried to search in the net for ages now – a recipe for Muryekos, you know that suman that is sort of clear with some latik inside. yummmm. if you can give me the recipe, that will be fantastic. I miss it so much because I havent been back home for a long time.

thanks and more power to you…

Looks yummy.. i also made cassava cakes last christmas..it was actually my 2nd try… The first time i made it .. i didnt put much liquid ingredients it was soft while its hot but not when its cold. I just experimented on the toppings.. i used the mixture that of the leche flan.. the second try i put some coconut milk, evap, condensed milk, grated cheese and water and the mixture of these milks plus flour for the toppings.. indeed when you put more liquid the softer the cake is. I am happy that our visitors loved it. Next time il try making it on single individual pan. k il read more of the recipes in this blogs this helps a lot.

Gigi, the finer grate was not intentional…but yes, the vargas one has a different toppig caramelization because they probably left it in a hot oven longer to cook the top, not just under a broiler. Worse, since my broiler was busted, I used a propane torch! MC, I made these in the city, so I wasn’t using the Viking, it’s the La Germania oven here and the broiling mechanism conked out, probably from overuse… :)

one of my favorite snacks!!!
@elaine: banana leaves are usually found in wet markets pricing varies but they start from about 10 pesos per bundle, which is already a lot.
