Latik

Latík (Tagalog: [laˈtɪk]) refers to two different coconut-based ingredients in Filipino cuisine.

Latík in its original sense in the Visayan languages literally means 'syrup' (equivalent to arnibal in Hiligaynon).

[2] In the most common usage, however, latik means a syrupy condiment derived from reducing coconut milk and sugar.

[10] Latík is commonly used as a topping for a variety of Philippine dishes including maja blanca, sapin-sapin, and ube halaya.

[11][12] It is sometimes mistaken for fried, caramelized coconut flesh- another type of garnishing/dessert known as bukayo in Bisaya.
