Traditional Rice Cake
"This traditional Filipino rice cake is well-loved by everyone. Who does not? Its rich, flavorful, sweet taste and soft fluffy texture paired with hot salabat or avocado tea brings back so many memories. Family and friends attending misa de gallo, sweethearts going out of the church after the mass, sharing a presumptuous breakfast of hot kakanin. Can you smell it? I do not know if it is still possible in a pandemic to have these days, but one good thing is for sure: you can definitely make these delicious rice cakes by following this traditional bibingka recipe of ours."
