PHILIPPINE GASTRONOMICAL TOURISM

Araos, Carmelita Joyce S.


H2T-BSTM
Midterm: Activity-Region 7
A. BOHOL
1. Peanut Kisses

This is a signature Boholano


recipe and only here you can find
cookies shaped like a miniature
Chocolate Hills (the famous
attraction of Bohol) or Hershey
Kisses. It is basically made of
high-quality peanuts and eggs,
baked crisp to bring that nutty
crunch in every bite. Every
department stores and souvenir
shops have displays of these
delicious pasalubong.

2. Calamay
This is one of the must-try treats
when visiting Bohol. Though
calamay is known across the
country (with other names),
nothing beats the Calamay from
Jagna, enclosed in a coconut shell
and sealed with a red band. It is a
concoction of glutinous rice,
sugar, coconut milk and some
peanuts.
3. Ube Kinampay Polvoron

Polvoron is a popular crumbly


shortbread cookie that is normally
made with milk and crushed nuts.
Being one of the largest producers
of ube (or ubi) in the Philippines,
Bohol’s delicious special ube
kinampay polvoron takes it up a
notch by incorporating this
delicious purple yam to add both
sweetness and flavor.

B. CEBU
1. Dried Mangoes
Dried mangoes are mangoes that go through
a long process of drying, sweetening and
preservation. This is to prolong the shelf life
of ripe mangoes. This is probably the most
popular pasalubong from Cebu if you ask the
locals.

2. Lechon de Cebu
This is one of the most popular food
delicacies in Cebu. You can also find this
roasted pig dish in other parts of the
country. But what sets Lechon de Cebu
apart from others is its distinct flavour
attributed to the stuffed spices like
tanglad (lemon grass), garlic, onions, and
black pepper. If you’re wondering what
to eat in Cebu, lechon should be on top
of your list.
3. Ngohiong
This is like a version of lumpia or spring
roll, except that it uses a five-spice
powder seasoning which typically
includes cloves, cinnamon, fennel seeds,
star anise, and Sichuan pepper. What
makes Cebu ngohiong special is the spicy,
sweet and sour sauce, which also utilises
the five-spice powder.

C. NEGROS ORIENTAL
1. Sans Rival
The pride of Dumaguete, Negros
Oriental, and this pastry is made
basically of meringue sandwiched
with cream and butter and showered
with cashew nuts. Sliced akin to
loaves of bread, this light dessert is
perfect with coffee to satisfy your
buttery cravings.

2. Silvanas
This sister of sans rival is a cookie made
also of meringue but filled with butter and
cream. It is chewier and best eaten chilled,
closer to ice cream sandwich. Once you
took a bite, you won’t stop to take or eat a
box of these. I’ve tasted ones from Nueva
Ecija and guaranteed their milky
goodness.
D. SIQUIJOR
1. Pan Bisaya
One of the delicacies in
Siquijor is the famous Pan
Bisaya, A humble baking
shack in Enrique Villanueva
town prides itself of its Pan
Bisaya, bread with a filling of
bucayo. In other parts of the
Philippines, this is called pan
de coco. The name of the
establishment that sell this
bread is called Lilybeth's Pan
Bisaya. The place looks like a
simple hut with the slightest
hint of being a commercial
place so it's really easy to
miss. Their produce are simple but cheese-filled, meat-filled and rolled breads. Best paired with
hot chocolate (sikwate) or coffee.

2. Kinilaw Binisaya nga Kulabutan


One of the favorite foods in Siquijor
is the Kinilaw Binisaya nga
Kulabutan, “kilaw” which means
“eaten fresh, it is a type of giant squid.
Eaten raw with vinegar and salt, you
could really taste its freshness.
Another way to cook kulabutan is to
saute it (ginisang kulabutan).
