Highlights of the Masacrot Springs Picnic

Here are some of the dishes the barangay captains prepared for the picnic. Others included kinunot na pagi [stingray in coconut milk] and different types of suman: kalabasa [squash], malagkit [glutinous rice], and ibous (in coconut leaf wrapping).

Leni is a local vendor of puto in Irosin. This was the most amazing discovery in Irosin. The puto is cooked similarly to the puto bumbong, steamed in plastic funnels whose stems are inserted into a huge cylindrical steamer. These breast-shaped spongy and delicious cakes are filled with bukayo [lukadon cooked in panocha].
