the picture of buri palm - Buri Palm Picture
The starch that was extracted from the body of the palm was soaked in water and the starch is called landang. We use to make budbud, a delicacy when I was in elementary school. We call them "budbud nga buli"
I think bud bud is also called suman. There are many varieties of it, and one of the them is suman with buli. Some are made using sticky rice, wrap in banana leaves.
When I was a kid, we own a big mortal and pestle. It was long about 6 ft carved out log where we put the buri and a wooden pestle to ground the buri to obtain landang. Landang was a type of starch which we use to make suman.
Budbud buli is delecious snacks. its like sticky rice but have gelatinous texture to it.
