Suman is a traditional Filipino delicacy made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and typically wrapped in banana or palm leaves. It’s cherished for its rich, creamy texture and subtle sweetness, making it a popular snack and dessert across the Philippines. In Alangalang, suman holds a special place and is enjoyed throughout the year, particularly during festivals, celebrations, and holidays.

You can often find it sold at the Alangalang Public Market during Tabo Days and at street stalls, making it easily accessible for both locals and visitors alike. Suman is commonly paired with sweet accompaniments such as sugar and grated coconut, which enhance its flavor and texture. Another delightful option is latik, a sweetened coconut caramel sauce that adds an extra layer of richness to this beloved delicacy.
