    Suman sa lihiya is a popular Philippine delicacy from one of its main islands, specifically the southern part of Luzon. It’s been a part of the everyday lives of Filipinos – from a snack to enjoy with family and friends to a comfort food for you. It is similar to its suman cousins made up of glutinous rice, brown sugar, and coconut milk, but it has an added twist to the taste due to the lihiya which means lye solution.
