I was lucky to be part of a group of photographers who got invited to the 1st Sugbuan Festival held last Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 to witness and cover the three day big event. This is the first part of a series of posts that will be featuring the activities which took place.
As we arrived on the first day, we saw busy people from different barangays cooking and preparing their special
kakanin (a sweet native delicacy usually made from coconut, rice and sugar) in time for the contest.
Everything was done on the spot and it was a new experience to see cooking the old fashioned way.
 |
| Grinding rice |
 |
| Extracting fresh coconut milk |
Once all the ingredients are dissolved, they are placed in a big pan on low heat and must be continously mixed to avoid sticking and sometimes it takes an hour or so until it is cooked...not an easy task I must say.
 |
| Sometimes it takes two to mix the sticky and heavy mixture |
And now for the finished products...
 |
| Suman con Mangga |
 |
| Sweet sauces and toppings to add to your taste |
 |
| An early visit from Hon. Mayor Charito Apacible to check on the preparations before the event proper. |
It was a real feast for both the eyes and the tummy, I really got stuffed until I couldn't take in anymore.
Thanks to Mayor Apacible for not only spearheading this project, but also for being there as much as she can to support her people. Mabuhay ang Nasugbu!
