Thank you for SUBSCRIBING bit.ly/2No9eVA to my Chamorro/CHamoru food channel where I share all things Guam 671 Chamorro cooking recipes, Guam 671 food, and more yummy dishes! Guam is an island of the Mariana Island archipelago that includes the Mariana islands of Rota, Saipan, Tinian, and Pagan. The CHamorus of the Marianas share many wonderful CHamoru cuisine foods, yet there are also unique island food differences due to their colonial standings at the end of the Spanish-American war - divided between the United States, Germany, and Japan.

Greetings from Texas.
Oooh I miss eating this. I used to buy this from a local kid who goes around Tamuning selling his yummy Tamales. I give him extra to help his business.
Thank you for sharing this. Too bad I do not have any banana trees around my block.
Keep sharing, stay well and keep safe.
Si yu'us ma'ase or God bless.
You are welcome!! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Good morning! Which part of Texas do you live? I am located in ONALSKA,TX near Lake Livingston,TX
@@TheJalapeno2010 howdy, I'm at Wichita stationed at Sheppard AFB.
Looks very delicious ❤
I love your videos and cookbook :,) they’ve helped me make food my nana makes and connect me to my culture thank you!!😊
Thank you too!! I love doing what I do!
I'm happy eating it by itself, its my favorite!!! I don't need to add on any other, 😋
Me too, cold at that!
Clean, cut off the spines of the “COCONUT LEAVES” ….yep, you said that! Coconut leaves would be palms right….should be: banana leaves…lol loved this!!!
This is one of my favorites as a child growing up in 🇬🇺. Now I can attempt to make this . Thank you
Yes, you can!
Clever! The heated sweet tamales, ice cream and mango!
Mona, it's incredibly delicious...but use the ripest, yummiest mango!
Using foil is easier for me than wrapping it with banana leaves. I only use the banana leaves for the apigigi.
You can easily make the banana leaf pliable by heating it over your gas stove.

Yessssss! Thank you, I will be making this.😉
Awesome!! We just had some a few days ago because I made the video....but I want to take some out of the freezer and eat more!
I love this food i use eat it when was little in Guam! But i move United States an to old go back wear i born!
I know right! That sticks with us always!
I bet it is delicious! Lastly, sticky rice with mango is yummy, so I think I'd try your sweet tamales with ice cream and mangoes. I might add roasted sesame seeds to it. Thank you!
Sounds good Teresita! I'll try the seeds next time!
This is awesome!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful recipe from your beautiful island!!!! Biba Guahan!!!!
Hȧfa Adai ylokos, si Yu’us Ma’ȧse lokkue' for stopping by. I enjoy everything I've been doing to help share and promote the food and culture of Guam. Biba Guȧhȧn!!
I love this video! Way to keep the culture alive in the states 😊 Biba Guahan yan Marianas! 👏
Hafa Adai Hillary, thank you! I love writing and talking about Guam, especially Guam food. Take care!!
Could we use this recipe with corn husks, too?
I've never tried, but I don't see why not. It will have a subtle corn husk flavor like the banana leaves have a subtle earthy flavor.
@@GuamMamaCooks okay thank you! Was just curious! God bless and happy holidays!
Everything was executed so well from start to finish! I cannot wait to try and make these. 😊 Thank you so much for this video!! ☺️

Is it ok to not use the young coconut?
Hafa Adai! The young coconut is a must for this specific recipe.
