Have you ever had biko before? If you're Filipino I assumed that you know what I am talking about. Biko is one of my all time fave merienda (snack) since when I was a kid. Biko is usually served during birthday parties, fiestas, Christmas, New Year and other celebrated events in Philippines. It's been years since I had my last biko, and I am glad that I've found a place nearby that sells Filipino delights.What is biko? Biko is a cake made from glutinous rice cooked in sweetened coconut milk and topped with latik (curdled coconut cream). If you would like to try and make this at home, here's the recipe for yah.
