Filipino Delicacy #2 – Bibingka
A Filipino rice cake made from galapong (glutinous rice soaked in water then ground with the water to form either a batter or a dough) , baked in a special clay pot, lined with a piece of banana leaf, with live coals on top and underneath. It is topped with slices of kesong puti (white cheese) and itlog na maalat (salted duck eggs). The newly-cooked bibingka is spread with butter and sometimes sprinkled with sugar then served with niyog (grated coconut). ( taken from Wikipedia)
This rice cake is famous among the Filipinos living in the north. As for us who are from the south ( Mindanao). It takes a bit of practice for us to get use to the taste but this is delicious especially when it’s hot and with butter and sugar.
Wow! I've tasted this and it's really delicious. Just try and you'l see.
