Kapit was one of the kakanin I learned to make on my recent trip to the Philippines, along with kalamay na gabi<\/a>, sapin-sapin<\/a>, and kalamay hati<\/a>. I'll be sharing all the recipes here so make sure to check back often for these crave-worthy desserts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Kapit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kapit is a Kapampangan delicacy very similar to kalamay sa latik<\/a>, but while the latter is bathed in arnibal syrup and garnished with latik and sweetened langka, the rice cake in Kapit is instead rolled around the coconut curds and jackfruit, and then wrapped in plastic film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As its name, which means \"sticky,\" suggests, this kalamay is soft and chewy. It's sold at almost every wet market or restaurant in the Pampanga region and is commonly eaten as a snack or dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
