1. Binakol
Binakol is an Aklan dish made of chicken that is steamed along with some of its own delicious juice cooked over flaming charcoal inside a bamboo container. The cooking method causes the chicken to take on all the flavors of the natural method and results in a juicy texture and rich flavor that lingers in the mouth.
2. Inuburan
One of the most well-known delicacies in Aklan cuisine is Inuburan. A chicken dish cooked with coconut milk and pieces of ubad or banana pith. People who have never tried this dish before describing it as having a blissful and delectable flavor brought on by the creamy milky soup with ubad, which in a strange way, mimics the rich texture of the rice.
3. Tinu-om
A common Aklan dish called Tinu-om consists of sliced native chicken that has been layered with chopped garlic, ginger, white onions, lemon grass, and tomatoes. Black pepper and salt are also added. Potato slices can optionally be included. The native chicken and the remaining ingredients are then tightly wrapped in banana leaves, placed correctly in a hot bowl, and steamed until deliciously cooked.
4. Linapay
The Aklanon version of “laing” is Linapay. It consists of small shrimps that have been pounded and are cooked in coconut milk with tender “batwan” fruit, garlic, onion, ginger, and chilies. The difference in this recipe is that the pounded shrimp and “gawud” (coconut meat) are wrapped in fresh taro leaves and cooked in coconut milk. Here in Aklan, the ingredients are available everywhere.
5. Inday Inday
Similar to the palitaw, this straightforward dessert is made with sticky rice flour (malagkit) cooked in hot water and topped with bucayo, which is gelatinous coconut meat simmered in water with muscovado sugar and coconut milk. The blandness of the sticky rice flour patty and the sweetness of the topping creates a lovely contrast in texture and flavor.
6. Latik
If you are trying to find a one-of-a-kind dessert or merienda at the beach, Latik is the answer. It is a must-try food in Boracay. This local treat is yet another play on texture and flavor that I adore. Suman is a bland cooked glutinous rice covered with latik, watery caramelized sugar, and grated coconut before being wrapped in banana leaves and steam-cooked. This suman is only about three inches long and bite-sized, as opposed to the traditional suman, which is elongated. These are offered for sale in neighborhood markets of Boracay Island.
7. Eangkuga
Eangkuga, despite its peculiar name, is similar to ginataang bilo bilo. This delicacy is made of bilo-bilo (glutinous rice balls), saba banana pieces, camote (sweet potato), and shredded young coconut meat. It is cooked in coconut milk and muscovado sugar. Perfect for a delightful sweet afternoon snack.
Many delectable specialties from Aklan’s cuisine bring back happy memories for many visitors. It is easy to eat because many resorts, including those in Boracay, serve popular local dishes in the region. Travel is so enjoyable because it allows you to experience the local cuisine. It’s a wonderful way to learn more about the people, their region’s culture, and their heritage.
