It is one of our delicacies. It is soft rice cooked in coconut milk.. i think. not really sure, i just eat it. I love many kinds of "kakanin". (Rice treats) What are you having for snacks?

The colour of rice looks bit different. I didn't had lunch, finishing off some pending work then I will have it. Also I had a late breakfast, so no issues.

It's the usual color here, quite dark.

@lady1993 I am sure I will. I will only cook the Biko when I meet my Pinay friends.

i've seen someone making "chocolate rice", this looks similar (not really, that thing looked like pudding and this looks like cookie). i'm not having anything at the moment, only coffee.

Bico looks very sweet and indulgent. Not something you'd want to eat every day, perhaps! It looks quite easy to make from the recipe I found. Just glutinous rice cooked with coconut milk and brown sugar.
Biko, is a native Filipino delicacy where glutinous rice is cooked with coconut milk and brown sugar then topped with caramelized coconut milk.

yep, I asked my mom to make it but it takes time to mix, it gets tiring after a while.

"Biko" is also one of my favorite snack! Here in our city or province we usually make it with glutenous rice or malagkit rice, coconut milk and brown sugar spiced with lemon rind or lime rind. For my snack this afternoon, I think I will just have another slice of ripe guyabanu or sour sop fruit.

We have a guyabano tree but it rarely has fruit.

@lady1993 Wow you're so lucky you have one. If it does not have fruits yet you can have guyabano (sour sop) tea using its fresh leaves.

@gamayngbaki hmm , never thought of that. I'd probably try it so dad won't drink so much coffee.
