Wrapped in hagikhik leaves and filled with freshwater shrimp (pukot), freshly grated coconut, oregano, and local herbs and spices, Kinagang is more than just a delicacy—it is a taste of tradition.

While similar versions can be found elsewhere, Lavezares has its own unique Kinagang, shaped by local ingredients, family recipes, and generations of culinary heritage.

Every leaf wrapped, every bite shared, and every recipe passed on keeps a piece of Lavezares alive.
