Binagol or sometimes called binangol is a visayan delicacy made from grated gabi or taro tubers and condensed milk then cooked in coconut shells and wrapped in banana leaves. I’m not sure if only Leyte, Tacloban produce this delicacy because when I was still young my mother buy this from her hometown whenever she went to her province. But today you can see this in malls.
