EN: a type of local sweet; scraper
A classic 'pasalubong' from the provinces! It's that disc of super-sweet muscovado or coconut candy, often wrapped in palm leaves. It's so hard you need to scrape it (hence the name, from 'kaskas' - to scrape), which is the perfect metaphor for trying to get your salary to last until the 30th.
From `kaskas` (to scrape), referring to how it is made or eaten.
ROOT MEANING: scrape, scratch; fast driving, speeding
More known as a specific delicacy from certain regions like Antique.
