We
have the yummiest native delicacies here in the Philippines, and
bibingka (rice cake) is one of them. It is traditionally eaten during
the Christmas season, but I'm very glad that I can have my bibingka fix
any time, any day, thanks to Bibingkinitan!
Original Bibingkinitan
Soft
and moist rice cakes made from 100% rice flour (Galapong), topped with
generous servings of salted duck egg and cheddar cheese.
Bibingkinitan
is the Philippines’ leading and biggest bibingka and coffee chain
popularized by its variety of soft and moist bibingka and 100% Barako
(Philippine Liberica) Coffee, which is characterized by its full and
strong flavor. They have over 200 stores (mostly kiosks) nationwide, and
I'm glad that 2 of them are so near my place. (Hello, Waltermart North
EDSA and SM The Block!)
P20.00/piece | P120.00/box of 6
Bibingkinitan
was established in 2006. In today's world where burgers and doughnuts
rule, Bibingkinitan is a refreshing change since it initiated renewed
interest on Filipino delicacies. At P20.00 a piece, it's quite
affordable, despite its small size, since you won't have to worry about
its cleanliness (versus those bought from the streets). Each piece is
baked and wrapped in banana leaves, which adds to the smokey flavor. The
bibingka is most delicious when it's warm, but even if you travel with
these babies, they still retain their soft and moist state, and you can
reheat them in an oven toaster/microwave oven and top it with butter for
a delicious treat.
The
best thing to combine with your yummy bibingka is Barako coffee.
Bibingka serves them hot or cold, whichever you prefer. For summer, they
launched their newest drink, which is Iced Barako.
Iced Barako
Icy cool strong barako coffee with a twist. Freshly brewed and perfectly blended with a creamy taste.
The crew were very sweet to leave a note on the cup!
This
big cup of Iced Barako costs only P45.00. It's a great way to beat the
heat and energize your system. It's strong but sweet and creamy at the
same time, which is definitely my kind of coffee.
Next
time you're looking for snacks, drop by your nearest Bibingkinitan
branch to get your bibingka fix. Don't blame me if you get hooked!
Love,
Helen
