00:00Are you getting bored already?
00:03That's right, because it's time for breakfast.
00:08Because there's a dish here in Ormoc that before World War II
00:14was already popular among Ormocans.
00:17It's called Masi.
00:21It's a kind of rice made from ground sticky rice
00:25with peanut butter.
00:27Luxurious!
00:29This is Dadang Tapalya Baluyo's original recipe.
00:35To make Masi, first, we'll grind the sticky rice with a little water.
00:49Next, we'll grind the toasted peanuts with a little brown sugar.
00:59Next, we'll massage the ground sticky rice
01:04and we'll flatten it.
01:11We'll submerge it in boiling water until it floats like a ball.
01:18It's ready to be massaged.
01:22After we boil it, it floats and it's cooked.
01:25We'll massage it with coconut milk, fresh coconut milk.
01:37After massaging it, the texture will be like this, very soft.
01:42We'll make small balls.
01:48Then, we'll wrap it with peanuts.
01:56We'll wrap it with banana leaves so it won't stick.
02:09After that, you can taste the classic Ormoc rice called Masi.
02:15We Filipinos have a lot of different kinds of rice.
02:18This is what we call Ormoc Leyte.
02:21Filipinos, this is what Ormoc Leyte is known for.
02:26Let's taste it.
02:27It's called Masi.
02:30At first glance, it looks like mochi.
02:34Oh my!
02:37This is so good!
02:38It has a sticky rice, or galapong.
02:43But the best thing about it is that it has pure peanut butter inside.
02:52It's so good!
02:57This is one of the best rice I've ever tasted.
03:02Promise!
