DELICACIES 2

A triangular net-like snack made of ground sticky rice batter with coconut milk and sweetened by sugar. Its fine and crisp strands looks like a curly fried pancit bihon. To make it even crispier, kamote (sweet potato) flour is added into the batter. The secret of creating its net-like shape is with the use of a coconut shell with small perforations (holes) at the bottom like a sprinkler.


The budbud is Mandaue’s version of the popular Filipino snack of suman. There are three types of budbud and the most common type is the budbud kabog, which many say is the most delicious and tasty of the three types. The budbud kabog is made of glutinous millet, coconut milk and sugar, and wrapped in banana leaves.
