My friend texted me this afternoon and said to come over to her flat as we will have Zumba. I declined as I was already on the way to the post office in the city. Her flat is not far from the post office but I had already things to do in the city. My 2 friends were having Zumba without me. I am sorry about that but at least my Christmas cards are on the way and I have done my Christmas shopping in the city. I was lucky again as there were only a few people in the city. I have just arrived home when my friend G called that she was in our parking place bringing a snack for me and my hubby to eat. It´s a Filipino delicacy which is called Bilo-bilo. That was so kind of my friends to think of me and share something that I like. Anyway, I love this snack. It was delicious. Thanks for reading. I have done with my notifications for today. Have a wonderful day/evening to you all. Here is the link on how to make Bilo-bilo.

Oh yum! What thoughtful friends you have! My friend made something like this - not sure if it was bilo bilo but it seems very similar to this.

@thelme55 Well this friend was actually Vietnamese, but she makes different things. She handed me a jar and I think I remember her saying it was a Filipino dessert. I just remember the rice balls and fruit in a thin sweet coconut milk.

@much2say It sounds that it was really Bilo-bilo that she gave you.

@thelme55 "A friend in need is a friend indeed" comes to mind. A real friend is one who never abandons us in good times or bad.

@thelme55 might have to check the local restaurants near me for bilo-bilo although I prefer the home-made one.
