FIL: Isang uri ng kakanin mula sa Pilipinas na gawa sa galapong (harinang bigas) at gata ng niyog, na niluluto sa isang terracotta na hurno na may uling sa ibabaw at ilalim. Karaniwang inihahain tuwing Kapaskuhan.
EN: rice cake
The official Christmas season food! You smell this being cooked outside the church after Simbang Gabi. It's that fluffy, slightly sweet rice cake topped with salted egg, cheese, and niyog. Best paired with hot tsokolate and a cool December breeze. It’s not just a kakanin; it's a core memory.
Possibly from a Malay cognate, related to the Goan dessert 'bebinca'.
A type of 'kakanin' (rice-based delicacy). Strongly associated with Christmas in the Philippines.
