One of Ilonggo’s favorite snacks for merienda is Inday Inday (rice dumpling) or palitaw in Tagalog. Food vendors in the streets and those who go to offices have their baskets with this common Filipino snack made of sticky rice dipped in grated coconut and topped with sesame seeds and white sugar, or in Ilonggo style. However, it is best to top it with muscovado sugar.
