Native rice cake and kakanin makers in the Bacolod barangays. In Bacolod, the provincial capital and the island’s biggest market city, on the northwest coast. 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.
