Hi friends of the Hive, it's great to have you here! 🌷

‎Hope you're doing great, and have an amazing day! 💗

‎Today's topic is about sticky rice cakes, or what we call "Sapin-Sapin".

Sapin-sapin for 40 pesos

Every morning, kuya (the vendor) uses his "potpot" or horn to announce his arrival.

‎That's one of the vendors' ways here in the Philippines to attract customers and draw our attention to their presence.

Manong vendor

So every time I hear it, I grab my wallet and head out to meet the vendor.

‎It was a ritual I'd grown accustomed to, especially after discovering my unexpected love for sapin-sapin during my second pregnancy.

‎Before then, I wouldn't have considered myself a fan of this traditional treat.

Sapin-sapin serving style 😁

But something about being pregnant triggered a craving that I couldn't ignore.

‎So from that moment on, the vendor's signal would send me rushing out the door, eager to satisfy my newfound taste for the chewy, sweet goodness of sapin-sapin.

Kutsinta

Even after giving birth, the craving never faded. 😋

Puto (white) and Ube Halaya (purple)

This is just a small pleasure, but one that brought me joy every single day.

‎How about you? What's your favorite way to brighten up your day? ☺️

‎Until my next craving...

‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
