Bibinka is very yummy especially if it has toppings such as sliced salty eggs, butter or cheese. Sometimes when I'm craving for bibingka, I've got to travel far just to find the best bibingka.
It's easy to cook bibingka, I just don't think if there's a store who sells specialized stove for it. The stove used in cooking rice cake is similar to the charcoal stove that we . There should be fired charcoals underneath and above the bibingka to get even cooking.
I have not tested yet if you can just cook it in the oven, I think it can be but may not so sure if it'll be as delicious as cake roasted between charcoals.Bibingka roasted in charcoals has a very different taste. A little taste of smoke makes the bibingka special.
This Christmas season, I saw many different bibingka all over the country. I saw it on tv and blogs. Just like "puto bumbong" it's the season of bibingka. I wonder how it all started, that when you mention Christmas, you'll also be thinking of these foods. I don't know, maybe I should research for the history of bibingka. For the mean time, let's learn to make a home-made bibingka.
