​The island of Cebu can be a culinary paradise for foodies looking for something new. The island has numerous delicacies and pasalubong items visitors may want to bring home with them after their visit. These items include the Peanut Browas, Butterscotch and Toasted Mini-Mamons. In addition, the towns and cities in Cebu also offer their own delicacies that may tickle the taste buds of visitors. One of these delicacies is the Palagsing of the southern town of Ginatilan.

Ginatilan

Ginatilan is located on the southwestern side of the island. It is home to numerous tourist spots where local and foreign visitors can drop by while they are in town. It is also the hometown of the second Filipino saint, St. Pedro Calungsod. In addition, the town of Ginatilan also has a number of delicacies to offer to tourists, one of which is the palagsing.

Palagsing

The palagsing is a sweet merienda delicacy with some similarities to the suman and budbod. It is also wrapped using leaves, which gives it an appearance similar to these two much-loved snack items. It also goes well with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. But, the palagsing has a deeper flavor compared to the suman and budbod. It is also sweeter compared to these delicacies.

​The process of making the palagsing is rather meticulous and arduous. It starts with the extraction of starch from the saksak palm. The palagsing is not only available in Ginatilan since it is also offered in the neighboring town of Samboan. The delicacy is also one of the offerings of the Timber City of the South, Butuan.

Visitors can pass by the Inambakan Falls, Millenium Park, and marine sanctuary. The town can also be a culinary adventure for food lovers as it offers a number of delicacies for local and foreign visitors.
