If you have a sweet tooth, Choco Lanay is a must-try. This local treat is a chocolate donut filled with rich, melted dark chocolate, topped with a smooth chocolate glaze, and often finished with a light dusting of streusel.
The name “Lanay” comes from the Bisaya word for “melt,” a perfect description of the gooey chocolate center that oozes with every bite. Its decadent flavor has made it a favorite among tourists and locals alike.
Origin: Kawasan Falls, Cebu
Choco Lanay donuts first became popular at Kawasan Falls, a world-famous waterfall destination in Badian, Cebu. The snack quickly became a staple for visitors looking to enjoy something sweet after trekking or canyoneering. Vendors near the falls serve it freshly made, ensuring the chocolate filling is always warm and melted, living up to its name.
