👉 Barongia is a type of traditional Philippine rice dish that originated from the island of Luzon in the Philippines, particularly in Cebu and Leyte Province. It's typically made with long-grain white rice, topped with a savory coconut milk sauce, and garnished with crispy fried plantains, peanuts, and sometimes grated coconut.
