A traditional Kakanin (rice cake) that can be found in a lot of markets in the Philippines, Palitaw is a white, flat and chewy rice cake that is made by combining glutinous rice flour with water. Palitaw is best served with grated coconut, sugar and sesame seeds, making this a delicacy that has both great flavor and texture. Serve this with tea and you’ll have yourself a delicious snack.
