When my grandmother was still alive (she died way before I was born, god rest her soul), she would make stacks and stacks of bibingka every December. It was bakeshop’s best seller during the Christmas season, especially among the early mass-goers. I’ve been craving for bibingka for days now and I thought I’d compile a list of places whose bibingka I’ve tried.
Via Mare Restaurant adds an interesting twist to their bibingka. Besides the usual toppings of grated coconut, they place a generous slice of melted cheese on top of the rice cake. You might find that a little strange but trust me - the cheese complements the bibingka like butter to pancake.
The bibingka at Tsoko Nut Restaurant (2nd floor Waltermart, along Pasong Tamo Road in Makati) serves a more traditional bibingka. The golden-brown cake itself is sweet enough to make a satisfying dessert, but not too sweet as to make you feel too full after a meal. Best eaten with their hot tsokolate.
