One of the favorites in Filipino delicacy is 'suman'-- the glutinous rice cooked and wrapped with young coconut leaves and then cooked again. Some occasion, the cooking will be done with the coconut milk. The uniqueness is on the coconut leaves wrapping. The cooked glutinous rice is tastier and meaner because of the coconut leaves. In many occasions, the party like birthday and fiesta is incomplete if you do not served this delicacy. One of my favorites, indeed.

@ilocosboy I don't think there is a chance for that.

we have also a kind of delicacy wrapped in banana leaves, but the difference is that in suman the rice is not grated while in the grinded one we call it tupig.

I like that suman in the picture called "suman sa ibos" originally from Antipolo City, Philippines. It is not so sweet and wrapped in buri leaves, another kind of palm tree.
