Patupat – the most popular native delicacy of Bontoc

*      Home-made with natural ingredients and no preservatives

*      It is one common livelihood of people here who know how to make it.

*      Pasalubong of travelers for their families, friends, and relatives.

Patupat -  a funny-sounding name for the delightful and sometimes addictive delicacy  of our hometown Bontoc. It is a native product that has existed long Text Box: An avid patupat eater enjoys the snack which goes well with coffee

before our parents were born for no one can remember when it was first introduced to the Ifontoks (people from Bontoc). Now, it is the most widely bought item for “pasalubong.”

Our research aims to study how the tasty patupat is made and have it be published for interested persons to try. We know that the ingredients and cooking are not so difficult to do so by putting it in our website, we hope that it could generate more popularity if not income for our fellow Ifontoks. Its shelf life can extend up to five days provided it is properly prepared. We notice that many of the visitors who come to Bontoc order patupat to take home, and when we go visit them in their hometowns, they often ask for patupat! Thus, we decided to help promote this product by studying about it and advertising it through the World Wide Web.
