This study aims to understand Mandaue delicacies by surveying local residents. It seeks to determine how delicacies have benefited locals, how their history is preserved, and their contribution to tourism. Researchers conducted an online survey of local residents to understand perceptions of two delicacies, Bibingka and Masareal. The survey found Bibingka had a higher rating, and both had low purchasing frequency and knowledge. Most respondents said they typically purchase from street vendors. To improve delicacies, the study recommends better marketing, ingredient/packaging improvements, preservation of recipes, and teaching locals to make delicacies.
