To be or not Tupig?















made from ground glutinous rice,

grated coconut,

coconut milk

(you can't really go wrong with coconut),

brown sugar,

wrapped in banana leaves,

and cooked on a flat rectangular piece of GI, over blazing coals!

what sets this delicacy apart from your regular suman

(which is not even comparable) is the fact that it is

char-grilled in a very special way.

you may want to pair this with sliced mangoes, yogurt, or a scoop of vanilla ice

cream. but enjoying Tupig in its own unique

whiff and taste is already a delight to smile about.














yum!


Tupig is a native delicacy of Camiling, Tarlac and Pangasinan. So if you're traveling north-bound, get ready for this yummy treat sold by local hawkers in bundles.
