TOP 5 FOOD DELICACIES IN THE PHILIPPINES
1. SUMAN
Made from glutinous rice, sugar coconut milk and wrapped in banana or buri leaf, these little neatly packed goodies are also quite popular. Whether you want to eat it as is, or pair it with a decent serving of sweet mangoes, they are definitely really good to eat. Some suman are already sweetened, while others don’t have a lot of sugar. Those wrapped in Buri leaves are quite sweet while those in banana leaf are not.
2. PICHI- PICHI
If you see a light yellow kakanin coated in grated coconut, then that is the Pichi-pichi. It’s made from combining grated cassava and sugar. It’s very light, and more often than not, it’s quite addicting to eat. They often sell it in groups of 6s or 12s and they surely are worth every penny.
3. SAPIN-SAPIN
Sapin-Sapin is as tasty as it is pretty! Soft, chewy, and topped with golden latik, this Filipino steamed glutinous rice cake is a delicious midday snack or after-dinner dessert.
4. KUTSINTA
Kutsinta is one of the simplest kakanin in the Philippines. It’s also very easy to find in the markets or malls. It’s that brown cupcake like kakanin that’s sold alongside puto or suman. It is basically comprised of flour, sugar, annatto powder and lye water. They are commonly eaten with grated coconut.
5. PUTO
Puto made of rice flour and coconut milk are soft, fluffy, and tasty! These Filipino steamed rice cakes are delicious on their own or paired with savory dishes such as pancit and dinuguan.
