10 Food Delicacies in Region 8: Eastern Visayas

Philippines has always been one of the countries that has plenty of food selections. A lot of people worldwide love the exotic and different kind of food here in the country. Here are 10 of the mouthwatering food delicacies in Region 8:

1. Sasima from Eastern Samar

Sasima is a caramel bread crumb treat which is more expensive than the tambis-tambis. This is made by using caramel to stick the bread crumbs together and hold them in one piece. It is neither hard nor is it soft like how it was before it was processed into this. I think it is largely because of the caramel which is absorbed by the small pieces of bread.

2. Binagol from Eastern Samar

Binagol is pronounced with a longer stress on the "a". Binagol is made of a root crop named Talyan, coconut milk and sugar. It is then molded into a coconut shell. Binagol is quite sweet with the distinct tast of the root crop.

4. Moron from Eastern Samar

Moron is pronounced like Morong. Moron is like the regular suman but the rice is cooked in coconut milk and mixed with a bit of cocoa. The Moron has the similar consistency of the suman and the cocoa enhances the taste. Moron is so soft that you can cut the small tube with a pair of scissors down the middle and just squeeze it out. You can go through a lot really quick.

8. Pastillas from Samar

Carigara is known for its tasty pastillas made from pure carabao's milk. There are imitations, ones made from condensed milk and the city shops are littered with them. It's the carabao's milk that makes all the difference so if it's not made from it, the tast is really different - it becomes too sweet.
