Native DelicaciesPinoy DelicaciesFollowing the poll on the Top 10 Pinoy Dishes that got so much attention and yielded such interesting results, I agree with several readers who suggested a poll on desserts and sweets. In my opinion, the Pinoy sweet tooth is highly developed. Whether the more traditional desserts based on rice, palm sugar and coconuts to the more Spanish influenced concoctions high in refined sugar, eggs and lard to the American influenced cakes, ice creams, etc., we as a nation have excelled at adopting, adapting, consuming and talking about desserts. So this is your chance to put in your vote for the Top 10 Pinoy Desserts.
PALITAW SA LATIK
I did a marathon kakanin “cook fest” yesterday, I made palitaw in coconut milk, biko and cassava cake. These, except for the palitaw in coconut milk are for my daughter to bring in school for their Linggo ng Kultura (Filipino Language & Culture Week).
To start with I’ll give you palitaw in coconut milk.
