The Mind-blowing taste of INUTAK

YA-MI!:

About 2 to 3 years ago, my office mates and I tried to bring and share delicacies from our respective hometowns.  I remember our staff Ivan who is from Nueva Ecija, brought pastillas because they're town is just beside San Miguel, Bulacan which is known for these products.  I on the other hand shared the famous Malolos' inipit!  Well we do this, not just because we are foodies, but we enjoy sharing food together and take pride of what our place has to offer.  

And my colleague Len didn't take this sitting down!  Hehe.  And what she brought is... inutak!  At first, I thought it's an ulam (viand) and is really made out of brain but to my surprise, it's a kakanin type of food or dessert!  She's from Paranaque but the delicacy is from Taguig but Len said they're really used to eating inutak.  And it's probably called as such because it looks like an utak (brain)!  :)  And she let us taste it with ice cream, and it's really mouth watering!  You can see in the print screen below how we asked Len to bring some more.  Hehe
