Tell me how you like your bibingka.
Piping hot? With a little pat of butter slowly, seductively melting its way into delicious oblivion?
Showered with grated coconut? Bursting with salted eggs?
Topped with quezo de bola shavings and slices? Or would you prefer goat cheese?
Sprinkled with sugar? The top slightly caramelized?
Ah, bibingka. Definitely one of my favorite Pinoy snacks.
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

June 3, 2008 at 9:43 am (16 years ago)Suddenly, I am reminded of simbang gabi, Toni. Hahahaha! Malapit na ang Pasko?
I like my IDEAL bibingka —
1. cooked medium-well, meaning — cooked slowly somewhere between 165-175°F or 65-75°C. I would prefer it cooked the old-fashioned way in a clay pot over steaming chunks of burning coal, but in these modern times, the oven would suffice.
2. cooked with red eggs, and with the galapong made from organic glutinous rice. The banana leaves used must be from the inner and higher part of the banana tree to ensure it is clean and young.
3. served warm, and not too well-done with little traces of burned edges (may cause cancer! LOL).
4. served with a copious avalanche of finely grated coconut, with traces of melted butter, and a very light sprinkle of brown sugar.
5. served with quick-melt cheese. Goat-cheese would be a luxury.
Eating it with a hot cup of white tea would make the meal more superb and the experience more complete.
Merry Christmas in June! Hahahaha! =)
Thanks for the fantastic food trip, Toni. Kahit imaginary, it was great.

Gracie
June 4, 2008 at 3:33 am (16 years ago)Agh! We’re so deprived here. Can’t get my hands on any bibingka. A friend of mine makes an awesome “Cassava Cake”, that’s the closest I can get to tasting a Pinoy Bibingka.
I want some of that on the picture!
