This chocolate moron
that is made up of ground glutinous rice or rice flour mix, chocolate, sugar
and coconut milk also known as “malagkit” being cooked in coconut milk. Moron
can either be mixed or plain with cocoa or chocolate. The Moron has the similar
consistency of the suman and the cocoa enhances the taste (it’s hard to go
wrong with chocolaty taste). Moron is so soft, that you can cut the small tube
with a pair of scissors down the middle and just squeeze it out. You can go through
a lot really quick.
Chocolate moron is
usually served during special occasions, fiestas, Christmas and New Tacloban. You
can buy these sweet treats at the downtown area in any pasalubong shops of
Tacloban City.
It is rolled and wrapped
in banana leaves then boiled or steamed.
