Linubak

This creamy kakanin variety made with mashed kamoteng kahoy(cassava), bananas, or taro, and sugar and milk (plus points if it’s gata!) is a staple at any town meeting. Served with grated peanuts and a swipe of margarine, linubak feels like a thicker, extra-chunky pudding. Because the base ingredients have a unique flavor on their own, you don’t need to embellish the dish with toasted coconut—not that a sprinkling would hurt.
