Crisp on the outside, syrup-soaked and tender within, tulumba is a dessert that seduces the senses from the very first bite. Piped into golden ridges, each piece is fried to perfection—its surface crackling slightly as it meets your teeth. But the syrup tells the real story: a fragrant bath of sugar and lemon, lovingly poured over hot tulumba to lock in moisture and flavor. The result is a dessert that glistens like honeyed treasure, oozing comfort and sweetness in every bite.
