Pinoy Treats at Jojie's Painitang Bol-anon in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines
When talking about food in Bohol, several delicacies readily come to mind. We all know calamay and peanut kisses. These two are not hard to find in Bohol. They are abundant in areas where most tourists go. One niche though that not many Boholano food businesses seemed to have ignored was serving kakanin. This is the niche where the business of Jojie's Painitang Bol-anon thrives.
Jojie's Painitang Bol-anon
As the name suggests, Jojie's is a Boholano business. While it is based in Bohol, it has already expanded its market. They opened several branches in Cebu. Aside from kakanin, the word painitan in Jojie's trade name suggests they also serve coffee, tea, other warm beverages. They also serve breakfast items. In this post, we take a look at the kakanin they serve at Jojie's Painitang Bol-anon.

Cassava Cake
I have two favorite kakanin items at Jojie's. One of them is the cassava cake. Jojie's version has a little extra sweetness and creaminess. Imagine those characteristics in cassava cake. Let's see if you don't drool.

Biko Dukot
My other favorite at Jojie's is biko dukot. Biko dukot is made the same way normal biko is done. Except that it is intentionally overcooked to create dukot. Dukot is a Cebuano word that indicates the bottom of cooked rice is a little charred. After the biko is cooked, it is then topped with latik or caramelized brown sugar. Do you still feel your sweet tooth?
Nilambid
Suman is the more common rice cake stick in the archipelago. There are also other variations. One of which is the nilambid. Unlike the usual suman, nilambid uses ground malagkit or glutinous rice. That gives it a smoother texture. It also makes it more sticky.

Bibingka Boholana
Bibingka is a popular version of the rice cake everywhere in the Philippines. Each place seem to have a version of bibingka. In Cebu, we have the bingka dawa from Asturias and bingka sa Mandaue. Bohol's version is called bibingka Boholana.
Puto Balanghoy
I'm not a big fan of puto balanghoy. Those who prefer less sweeter delicacies may want to try this rice cake mixed with cassava.
