We would like to introduce the Tamales. It is a delicious native delicacy from Batangas.The tamales made of sticky rice (termed locally as malagkit), drizzled with coconut latik, is also called suman in some parts of Batangas. But in Lipa and here in Mataasnakahoy, we call that rectangular shaped rice-based dessert/snack as tamales and the elongated tube-like one is the suman.Although the pork stuffed tamales is known in Batangas City, Rosario, Padre Garcia, and Taal, it is more associated with the town of Ibaan.This was the tamales that I grew up knowing. Mom used to bring it home often enough. I don’t know about other people, but I have always known the tamales to be a snack, not a viand for a meal.This might not be for everybody and might not be a food which can be called as love at first taste. But I can say that when ever visitors tried this one, they will be in love with it’s taste. Visit our town batangas and try this one!
