Ilagan folk whip up 48-kilo rice cake

-
ILAGAN, Isabela — There was rice cake for everyone here last Thursday as this capital town whipped up a giant binallay, the most popular local delicacy.

The event highlighted Ilagan’s 317th founding anniversary celebration.

Binallay, which Ilagueños cook especially during the Yuletide season and Holy Week, is made up of diket (glutinous rice), ladek (coconut milk) and laro, a locally produced brown sugar.

About 5,000 people from Ilagan’s 91 barangays feasted on the 48-kilo giant rice cake at the historic Rizal Park Centro.

Ilagan also unveiled a giant armchair or butaka, which it hopes would earn a Guinness record. — Charlie Lagasca
