Native Bibingka


There are two types of bingka I've grown up with.


First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad.


But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon.
Flat bingka from Mohon
And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round.


This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto.

Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Ingredients
  • 1 and 1/2 cups Rice flour
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup softened butter (reserve 1/4 cup for brushing)
  • 1 cup Grated coconut (or more)
  • Banana leaves



How to make Bingka
  1. Combine butter and sugar together then add the eggs.
  2. Gradually add the rice flour and baking powder.
  3. Add the coconut milk and evaporated milk. Beat the mixture well until smooth.
  4. Brush banana leaves with butter then place them in individual molds
  5. Pour bingka mixture in the mold then add grated coconut. This is to ensure each bingka has strips of coconut
  6. Bake in (preheated ) oven 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven then brush the top with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake again for 10-15 minutes or until the color of top turns golden brown. Dip a toothpick at the center, if it comes out clean, it is ready.
  8. Remove from oven and brush with more butter if desired.
No matter what your preference is, simple or the likes of having salted egg and more, bibingka is still among the most popular Filipino kakanin.

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
