Bukayo

Local delicacy makers of Arado village in Burauen, Leyte have known the recipe to one of the most distinct, best-tasting coconut desserts in the Philippines for nearly half a century. Their best kept secret seemed to be set to stay that way – a secret – until things recently took a nutty, gastronomic turn. Bukayo really has a unique taste.

And for this sweet bits rolled into balls that look like homemade macaroons, Bukayo is a trademark of Burauen.
