Palitaw is one of the easiest native delicacies you can prepare at home and less tedious compared to other delicacies. Recipes made from glutinous rice is a staple in most Southeast Asian countries even in the grand palace of the King of Siam most of the desserts prepared are made from glutinous rice.
Here in the Philippines, every region has its own recipes made from glutinous rice which I will share on my upcoming blogs.
I made palitaw because I saw Lyra, a youtuber which I follow made one so I craved for it. Instead of buying, I made my own like she did. It was so good and I shared some to my in-laws. 👍
What native delicacies you want to eat and share? Enjoy cooking everyone! ❤😋
