Mini cassava cakes

I was busy preparing teaching materials in my office this afternoon when somebody knocked at my office door. As I called out for whoever it was to come on in, the door opened and one of our younger instructors entered holding two large flat boxes with his left hand. He came over to where I was seated at my PC and lowered one of the boxes which had no top so that I could what was inside. Looking in I saw that there were several quaint golden-brown cupcake-like food stuffs inside! The instructor told me he was treating everyone at the office for the New Year and to help myself to a few. Thinking that there was just enough for each one of us at the office to have one each, I got one cupcake. Seeing that, the instructor cried out, "Kulang pa yan! Kuha pa ho kayo ng isa pa." (That's not enough! Go ahead and get another one.) So I got one more and said thank you.

I brought both home to show and share with my parents. They turned out to be mini cassava cakes. And they were gooey-ly yummy! Too bad I didn't get to take a picture of the cakes before we gobbled them up.
