If you ever find yourself in the Cagayan Valley region, you may want to try its two delightful treats — the Carabao Milk Candy and Pawa.
Carabao Milk Candy is a rich and creamy confection made from pure and fresh carabao milk, sugar, and sometimes coconut milk. It is simmered until it thickens and then poured into molds to set. The result is a soft and chewy candy with a unique flavor attributed to carabao milk, which is creamier than cow’s milk.
On the other hand, Pawa is a sticky and sweet snack made from ground glutinous rice, coconut milk, sugar, and peanuts, wrapped in banana leaves, and steamed. It is a satisfying delicacy that is perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
