Palitaw

Palitaw (Glutinous Rice Dumplings) is a small, flat Filipino rice cake coated with grated coconut, sugar and sesame seed. They are made from malagkit (sticky rice) washed, soaked, and then ground. Scoops of the batter are dropped into boiling water where they float to the surface as flat discs - an indication that they're done.

Biko

This is definitely one of my all time favorite Filipino rice cake dessert mainly originated from the lavish coconut filled province of Bicol region. It is a special rice cakes with coconut curdled caramel on top of it. You can surely forget your name in your every bite!

Binatog

Binatog is this common street food in the general Luzon area of boiled, whole white corn kernels that's eaten with grated young coconut and sugar. I haven't developed an affinity to it, as I had been warned by elders when I was a child that the combination of coconut and corn is lethal for the stomach. And of course it is streetfood, with all the gruesome reputation attached to it.
