 +====== Eastern Visayas Cuisine ======
  
 +==== Binagol ====
 +A sweet delicacy made from mashed taro (gabi), coconut milk, sugar, and egg yolks, traditionally steamed in coconut shells. Originating from Leyte, it is as much a souvenir as a dessert. [([[https://kusinasecrets.com/authentic-binagol-recipe/|Kusina Secrets]])]
 +
 +==== Moron ====
 +Chocolate-marble rice rolls from Leyte made of glutinous rice flour and tablea (cacao tablets), wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. The spiral pattern gives it a distinctive appearance. [([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btm06hh3T60|YouTube]])]
