Have you eaten "Puso" or "Hanging Rice"?

It still is touched by human hands especially when the maker uses his hands and not the container to pour uncooked rice in the hole of the puso container made of leaves.

Months ago since I haven't been eating out lately... It appeals to me because of it's flavor and price. I get good rice in the right quantity at the right price. What else can I ask? Indeed and excellent Filipino delicacy!

I can say more about this for I am from Cebu where I guess, puso was originated. I would agree that puso can be told as the cleanest. I have seen some people while cooking it. But I what I can add up is that puso is also affected by the crisis. When I first eaten puso in the 90's, it was big and you will find hard way to finish two pieces of that. But now, with the same price, puso becomes smaller and smaller each day. I guess I can eat 6 pieces of it now, where I can only take 2 when it was bigger in the 90's. But it is still a hit in the gathering like in the office, beach party, etc. KEEP SMILING=> NEIL

My mom knew how to make this and she is from samar. They ususally make his when they travel to manila from samar although I have not tasted this.

I grew up in Leyte where "puso" is also common. I haven't eaten any lately, and I would dearly love to. Between "puso" and rice cooked the ordinary way, I would gladly choose "puso". Last time I had one was a few years ago, and I did notice also that the size had shrunk.

Oh my. That's one of the things I miss about the Philippines. Puso! I love eating puso. There's just something about eating it that's so native and simple. When I go home, I'd be on the lookout for puso.
