One of the many highlights in Batangas would be the food. From the ever-famous lomi to the scrumptious goto, you will be delighted as much if you are to try the sweet delicacies of Batangas. One of which is panutsa.
This is our version of Baguio’s peanut brittle, only that panutsa has more peanuts (whole peanuts). Wherever you explore around Batangas, you’ll never fail to see a vendor selling this sweet product.
You can also travel to Taal, Batangas, the home of the best panutsa.
Panutsa may bring some nostalgic images in your head as it will remind you of those afternoons when you were young and you go to a sari-sari store and see bite-size panutsa in a jar. Or just remember the taste of your first panutsa and how good and sweet it was and still is.
