Preheat your steamer for about 5 minutes. Pour the purple color first on your round pan and let it steam for 20 minutes. Cover top of the steamer with clean white cloth, before putting the Lid on to prevent the water from dripping into the mixture to avoid sapin-sapin from being soggy. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before adding the second layer. Then add the orange layer over the first layer and steam it for another 20 minutes. Let it cool again for about 10 minutes before adding the last layer. Lastly pour the white coconut mixture over the second layer and steam for another 20 minutes.
