Tupig is a kind of wrapped rice sweet snack from the Ilocos Region of the Philippines which is made from a mixture of milled glutinous/sticky rice called Diket, coconut milk (Gata) and molasses (called Tagapulot in Ilocano). Other ingredients can be added to make this sweet snack special and to make it crunchy, like shredded matured coconut and sesame seeds. The mixture is then wrapped in banana leaves and roasted over charcoal.
