In Filipino cuisine, moron (also spelled morón or muron,[1] the stress is placed on the last syllable[2]) is a rice cake similar to suman.
[9] The main difference is that moron is gyrated with chocolate tablea (tablets) or mixed with cocoa powder while a regular suman is not.
[2][4] The ground rice is then soaked in coconut milk until it is soft,[2] after which sugar and chocolate powder are added.
[1] The food is also a medium of exchange for goodwill in Tacloban and the nearby municipalities of Palo, Tanauan, Tolosa, Dulag, Mayorga and Abuyog.
[11] The Department of Labor and Employment of the Philippines meanwhile made a project in Mambujao, Camiguin for the production of moron.
