Common names It is called ''anáhaw'' or ''luyong'' in Filipino. In Malay the palm is known as ''serdang daun bulat''. Taxonomy ''Saribus rotundifolius'' was first described as ''Corypha rotundifolia'' by the French Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1786. It was moved to the ''Saribus'' genus by the German-Dutch botanist Carl Ludwig Blume in a publication issued in 1838 or 1839. This move was generally not accepted by others in the field. In 2011, after DNA research, the reclassification from the '' Livistona'' genus to the resurrected genus ''Saribus'' was official.

It is eaten as is or as an accompaniment to a number of savoury dishes (most notably, '' dinuguan''). ''Puto'' is also an umbrella term for various kinds of indigenous steamed cakes, including those made without rice. It is a sub-type of ''kakanin'' (rice cakes). Description ''Puto'' is made from rice soaked overnight to allow it to ferment slightly. Yeast may sometimes be added to aid this process. It is then ground (traditionally with stone mills) into a rice dough known as ''galapong''. The mixture is then steamed. The most common shape of the ''putuhán'' steamer used in making ''puto'' is round, ranging from in diameter and between deep.

Moron (food)
In Filipino cuisine, moron (also spelled morón or muron, the stress is placed on the last syllable) is a rice cake similar to suman. It is a native delicacy of the Waray people in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines, particularly in the area around Tacloban City in the province of Leyte and in Eastern Samar province. Other parts of the Philippines have their versions of it, however. In fact, the moron was adopted as one of Mambajao, Camiguin's locally produced products. Since it is a variety of suman, the moron is cooked with glutinous rice, coconut milk and sugar. The main difference is that moron is gyrated with chocolate ''tablea'' (tablets) or mixed with cocoa powder while a regular suman is not. It also has a hint of vanilla and is usually partnered with coffee or ''sikwate'' (a native Philippine chocolate drink). With chocolate as its distinct ingredient, it is also called chocolate moron or chocolate suman. Preparation The common ingredients of moron ...

Pusô
''Pusô'' or ''tamu'', sometimes known in Philippine English as "hanging rice", is a Filipino rice cake made by boiling rice in a woven pouch of palm leaves. It is most commonly found in octahedral, diamond, or rectangular shapes, but it can also come in various other intricately woven complex forms. It is known under many different names throughout the Philippines with numerous variations, but it is usually associated with the street food cultures of the Visayan and Moro peoples. ''Pusô'' refers to the way of cooking and serving rice on woven leaves, and thus does not refer to a specific recipe. It can actually refer to many different ways of preparing rice, ranging from plain, to savory or sweet. Regardless, all of them are woven pouches where rice is poured inside and cooked by boiling. ''Pusô'' are differentiated from other leaf-wrapped Filipino dishes like '' suman'', '' binalot'', and ''pastil'', in that the latter use leaves that are simply wrapped around the food an ...

Latík
''Latík'' () refers to two different coconut-based ingredients in Filipino cuisine. In the Visayan region it refers to a syrupy caramelized coconut cream (coconut caramel) used as a dessert sauce. In the northern Philippines, it refers to solid byproducts of coconut oil production (coconut curds), used as garnishing for a variety of desserts. Visayan ''Latik'' ''Latík'' in its original sense in the Visayan languages literally means 'syrup' (equivalent to ''arnibal'' in Hiligaynon). It can refer to any type of thick sweetened liquids including jam. In the most common usage, however, ''latik'' means a syrupy condiment derived from reducing coconut milk and sugar. It is used much in the same way as syrup, in dishes like ''kalamay'' and '' suman''. It is usually Anglicized as "coconut caramel." A commercial version of the Visayan ''latik'' is marketed internationally as coconut syrup, though it should not be confused with coconut sugar derived from coconut sap. Tagalog ''L ...
