Description
A coconut-flavored, banana-leaf scented rice cake topped with duck salted egg or cheese and coconut strips.
Bibingka belongs under the umbrella of kakanin, a category of indigenous sweets composed entirely of rice-based snacks, like biko, sapin-sapin at suman. . It is traditionally made from slightly sour galapong (ground fermented sticky rice), coconut milk, water, and sugar. The thick batter was poured into clay molder containers lined with banana leaves, topped with more banana leaves, and surrounded by hot coals.This cooking technique produced a soft, spongy cake infused with the tropical aroma of toasted banana leaves.Bibingka is best enjoyed warm with a mug of steaming hot coffee or tea, and even though it's associated with Christmas, it’s delicious at any time of the year.
