The familiar smell of "tupig" being grilled led me to this stall at our bus pitstop in NE. I didn't know NE also had "tupig", as I usually smell/see/eat them only in Pangasinan. It was a rare chance to try NE's version of "tupig".
What to buy: "Tupig": it is a concoction of grated young coconut, rice, coconut milk and sweetener (usually "panucha") carefully wrapped in young banana leaves, then grilled over live coal.
"Katuray" flowers: these flowers of a medicinal tree are mixed with soup dishes or prepared into a decoction (as anti-hypertension herbal tea)
"Suha": native pomelo, known for it unique tartness with sweet aftertaste
What to pay: P10 for 3 pcs of "tupig"

Roadside vendors along the highway sell fresh harvests of fruits like seedless watermelon and "suha" (pomelo). You can request your bus driver to stop by the roadside if you want to buy.
What to buy: Seedless watermelon and suha
What to pay: Much, much cheaper than Manila prices.
