Espasol is a chewy and soft, cylinder-shaped Filipino rice cake. It is made from glutinous rice flour cooked in coconut milk and sweetened coconut strips and, afterwards, dusted or coated with toasted rice flour.[1][2]

Originating from the province of Laguna, it is traditionally sold during the Christmas season. [citation needed] Nowadays, espasol can be found on major thoroughfares, street stores, and bus stops in and near Laguna.[3] It can also be found in specialty stores and pasalubong centers in and near Laguna.[3] [4]

The term espasol was also used to describe a person's excessive make-up.[citation needed]
