SUBSCRIBETrip to Guiuan, 5 – Leyte delicacies
Just right before I boarded the bus for Ormoc, a trip in Tacloban is not compete without the usual moron and binagol delicacies.
Moron, a sticky rice delicacy wrapped in banana leaves and steamed is native to Tacloban and rather oily. It is also found in Ormoc which is a little bit drier compared to the former. I was also told that it is found in Butuan in Mindanao too. What sets this apart from the usual suman delicacies of other Philippine provinces is that it has a choco mixture, right.
Another delicious and sweet delicacy, binagol is made from taro, with a caramelized mixture at the bottom blended with peanuts. A small coconut shell is where the edible parts are placed and then wrapped with banana leaves and bound with a string.
