Biko

Rainy season like this, we crave for something to eat while we are just here inside the house doing nothing. My sister was telling me that we will make Biko today for we have glutinous rice that mother bought the other day, but we haven’t prepared coconut to be used for it and it was already raining. So we just took a nap and will make Biko maybe in the next day. What is Biko? It is a cake made from glutinous rice cooked in sweetened coconut milk and topped with latik (curdled coconut cream), but some just make it plain with no toppings. Biko is usually served during birthday parties, fiestas, Christmas, New Year and other celebrated events in the Philippines.
