Parirutong


parirutong - /pa-ri-ru-tong/ Tagalog [Quezon province] snack; dw Tag. [Quezon] parirutong [a variety of dark purple rice] [n.purple rice pancake.

 



Other local name: 

  •  a.k.a. maruyang parirutong in Tagalog (Lucena City, Tayabas, and Pagbilao, Quezon)


This parirutong of Quezon province is a tasty and easy-to-prepare rice snack. It is made with ground purple rice (non-glutinous) mixed with enough water and stirred well into a flowing or thin batter. The mixture is added with strips of buko (scraped soft meat of the young coconut) and sugar. A ladle-scoop of the mixture is pan-fried, similar to when you cook a Filipino hot cake (pancake).

Parirutong is cooked similar to pancake. Here how it is done in the public market of Sariaya, Quezon.

No yeast or baking soda is added but normally the batter would raise and bubble like a pancake when pan-fried. It is flipped to cook the other side and removed right away from the pan when it is dry.

Parirutong is traditionally served on a banana leaf and eaten as is with no need for spread or toppings, and often paired with hot coffee or an ice-cold softdrink (soda).

It tastes like a bibingka sa pugon and is among the favorite snacks of the locals.       

I found this parirutong in the old public market of Sariaya, Quezon. I wondered what else more do we have in Quezon province that we do not knew yet.


You can find this parirutong in the Southern Tagalog region (Calabarzon). One thing is for sure, many of you in Metro Manila and nearby towns and cities are not aware until now that we have this tasty rice snack in Quezon province though this has been here for many generations already.

Personal note

Philippine cuisine is continually evolving. Filipino cooks are no longer restricted to modifying and improving traditional foods. When cooking parirutong, you may add more ingredients to give it a twist. Try adding some cheese, milk, egg, flavoring, or aromatics. Adding a teaspoonful or two of yeast or baking soda and let stand for one hour before cooking can make the rice pancake soft and fluffy. You may also spread it with your favorite syrup or pastry toppings. Instead of serving it flat on the plate, you may roll, fold, or cut it into pieces and do innovative plating ideas. Serve it by pairing it with whatever pleases you, and enjoy a serving any time of the day.
