Kabankalan Native Sweet Makers
Description
Native dessert and kakanin production in Kabankalan barangays. In Kabankalan, the main city of the southern interior, a hub for the whole southwest. Kakanin are made at barangay level and sold in the market and by roadside vendors — puto, biko, bibingka, budbud, suman. Here they’re morning food rather than dessert, eaten with sikwate or native coffee. Go early; the good ones sell out before the market quietens.
Tips
The supply hub for the whole southwest — if you"re travelling the western corridor, this is the one market worth timing your day around. The eatery zone around the market is where to eat, not the highway strip.

How to get there
On the main southern highway; Ceres buses between Bacolod and the south all stop here.
Best Times
Early morning — markets, landings and roadside stalls all run hardest before 8am.
