One of my Mom's specialty is Moron. A delicacy that is common in our province. When I am in the Philippines I always help out my Mom in making this dish.

According to wikipedia:

In Filipino cuisine, moron or muron is a rice cake similar to suman. It is a native delicacy in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines particularly at the city of Tacloban in the province of Leyte and at the province of Eastern Samar
