WHAT IS BIBINGKA?
Bibingka is another version of Filipino rice cake. Last week, I shared with you Bibingkang Malagkit using sticky rice as the main ingredient, and I made the Bibingka Bisaya while back that one is the Cebu Bibingka version, which by the way a must-try. Bibingka is another version of rice cake using glutinous rice flour and flour as the main ingredient. We make Bibingka on Holiday, but we serve it for snacks and desserts during special occasions.
I remember eating Bibingka when I was a little kid and learning to make it from our neighbor who sells them. She made the rice flour from scratch using a rock grinder. I got to help her grind the rice while she was preparing the ingredients.
Bibingka has a sweet taste and delicate texture. It uses banana leaves as a liner so, the banana leaves taste melds into the cake, which makes this good. The batter is baked in the oven. Cheese, salted egg are added to elevate the taste.
