Queenie O. Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 A popular Lenten snack with Cebu origins, is a fruit and root crop soup/stew called binignet. I other regions it might be known as ginataan halo-halo. It's cooked usually with taro, camote, saba bananas, tapioca pearls, jackfruit with a coconut milk base. It's usually eaten warm, but sometimes can be chilled and eaten like a pudding. In the provinces especially it is prepared during Holy Week, but can be found at other special occasions as well. I was wondering if any of you have eaten binignet lately, and if you enjoyed it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if any of you have eaten binignet lately, and if you enjoyed it? It is known as ginataan here in the north....served warm with all those items, in a coconut and sweet milky soup. Yes quite good, but a bit high in calories, they must add sugar to get it sweet. Not to be confused with ginataan....the Visayan recipe usually with Yellow Fin, long chillies and eggplant, coconut base in a reddish soup.
