Pater Al-Kuwait Tibanga

A NEW WAY OF EATING!

EXPERIENCE THE BEST TASTING PATER IN TOWN.

A special rice and sautéed meat rolled in banana leaf. Pater is closely similar to the Tagalog binalot sa dahon except the way on how it is wrapped in banana leaf. A scoop of steamed or boiled plain rice is placed on the center of a spread of banana leaf. The cut of banana leaf is wilted first in fire or ember to soften and make it a pliant wrapper. The scoop of cooked rice is then molded by folding the banana leaf. Before finally wrapping the rice, it is topped sautéed shredded meat usually that of shredded meat of braised beef, fish and chicken. Then the leaf is finally rolled around the topped rice. It is sealed by folding both ends similar to that of suman (Tagalog rice stick), only that Pater is wider and flatter in shape.
The special version of Pater has more meat, plus a hard-boiled chicken egg (shelled and cut into halves) as toppings, and the rice is mixed with little amount of glutinous rice that would bind well the molded meal. Pater is considered as the budget combo meal not only for Muslim brothers in Mindanao but also for Christians.
