Tupig
Tupig
stands out among the
variety of local desserts. It’s a
mixture of glutinous rice, coconut
milk, molasses and sesame. The
rice cake is spread into thin layers
then wrapped in banana leaves and
roasted in a charcoal oven.
Tupig
has
a thick and sticky consistency, and a
unique smoky flavour from the burnt
banana leaves.
La dolce vita Ilocana
Ilocanos like their food savory, but the
good life here is incomplete without
the sweet.
