Budbud or suman, also known as sticky rice cakes or glutinous rice cakes are quite famous all over the island.
To be honest, this delicacy can be very filling and as it is a high-carbohydrate snack. The good part is, it is very healthy. Budbud is actually glutinous rice mixed with coconut milk. In Leyte, there is a variant of this Budbud known as moron. It is not pronounced as mo-ron, rather it’s pronounced as moo-rohn. And it is absolutely divine!
Budbod is almost always wrapped in banana leaves cause they say that it brings the best taste out of the food.
There are various recipes for the Budbud, depending upon the region. The most popular version includes coconut milk and salt. Others are served with brown sugar, grated coconut, coconut jam, peanut butter and melted chocolate. Budbud is most popular during the Christmas season and you will find people often pairing it with hot chocolate and sweet mango slices.
