New Year's Preparation: Mama's Homemade Sinukmani ft. The Soft and Spongy Coconut Embryo

I will celebrate New Year with painful cramps, what a start for the New Year (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠). The pain is bearable but my patience is kinda short today. I noticed how easily I snaps in the past few days when things doesn't go on my way and cursing with all my heart made me feel happy and delighted. Lol. I'm not gwenchana (〒﹏〒)

Still, despite the pain I was still able to help preparing something at home. Its nothing much and its not like we prepare a lot. This is just like during Christmas preparation. Mommy D will cook one dish only again. I thought we will make Sinukmani but seeing that Mommy D already made espasol, I suddenly feel so lazy to make the Biko, lol

And Mommy D already open two matured coconut to use in Biko. Its also Mommy D who grated and squeezed out its milk. I told her to just pay 14 pesos and made it someone do it for her but Mommy D feel like doing everything from scratch. I couldn't stop her. For sure, tomorrow she will complain about her arms being painful. Aiggooo

But look what's inside it, we call this Tubo, or coconut embryo. It's sweet and has that spongy texture. It doesn't weigh much and it looks like airy but once you eat it you can also squeeze out some juices into it. Back when I was a kid I love eating this, but now anymore. I don't know, I just feel like not eating it. Lol. Do you already try this guys?

Anyways, we also visit the market to buy chicken. While in there Mommy D was already cooking the espasol. When we arrived home we started making it. We make it round and flattened then rolled it in a roasted glutinous rice flour. We didn't make a lot today, last time we're able to make 56 espasol but this it's inly 33 pieces.

I decided to buy Pizza that we can eat later. I visit there at 10 because i'm sure if I go there in the afternoon, I won't get the flavor of pizza that I want. They have a lot of pizza ready but as I see costumers keep on coming and buying, I am surely sure that this much won't last. That's not all of them actually, there's more at the back.

I ordered two pizza, one Hawaiian Delight and Overload Special. I want to get the all meat pizza but Mom would surely eat it so I just chose these two. They taste the same anyway haha. And what's really important id we have something that we can eat later.

Ah, about the Sinukmani, I really don't want to make it so I passed it on to Mama. Making Sinukmani is quite easy but it needs a lot of stirring and mixing. And it needs these ingredients to make it, sugar, coconut milk and glutinous rice. We'll start by cooking the rice.

Once done, mama started cooking the coconut milk and sugar together. Just until the sugar melt.

Next is putting the steamed glutinous rice in the pan. It's a nonstop stirring after that, for the sticky rice not to stick in the pan. I helped a little with it but my arms is easily beaten after some mixing. Lol

And after some time, finally it's done! It should be darker brown but the brown sugar mama bought is a lighter one. Still, it's sweet and yummy so its all goods ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ.

I hope we all have a fun and safe New Year celebration later ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ. And I really hope people will just stop using any loud fireworks just to avoid any accidents and also for our fur babies not to get scared (〒﹏〒).

Happy New Year guys ┏(＾0＾)┛
