The local people here are unfailingly hospitable and generous. Miss Creative and I popped into the local tailor this morning to pick up some tops we'd had made for her, and also came home with these little packages.
They are made from sticky rice, flavoured with banana and a kind of bean, and steamed in their banana leaf wrapping. Cute, sweet and tasty! They're disappearing fast.
Today is a festival where the local people honour the dead. They make these wrapped rice treats and visit the local temples and sites of their ancestors' remains. Every family seems to have their own special recipe for making these treats and the tailor was delighted to share some with us.
