This is one of my favorite kakanin or sum an (goodies). Suman or kakanin is not a dish my family would normally make unless it's for a special occasion. Cassava sum an is a classic Filipino snack or dessert.
Growing up, we had cassava suman on holidays such as Christmas and New Year's Eve. My family would make them in huge quantities to share with family and friends. If you're feeling a little adventurous, you can buy the cassava, peel and grate them. But if you're like me, I just buy the grated cassava, grated young coconut and coconut milk at the Asian store. They're usually in the freezer section.
