FIL: Isang uri ng kakanin na yari sa galapong, lye water (lihiya), at arnibal, na karaniwang kinakain na may kasamang niyog.
EN: Steamed brown rice cake
That jiggly, brownish-orange kakanin you buy from a street vendor, usually paired with puto. It's not a party without kutsinta, and the real challenge is getting the perfect amount of freshly grated coconut on top without making a mess. It's the less famous but equally delicious cousin of puto.
From Hokkien Chinese 粿仔 (kué-á), meaning "small cake".
Often sold together with puto (steamed rice cakes). The orange color comes from atsuete (annatto) seeds.
