Sticky rice cakes such as kalamay is a special treat in the Philippines. This is often served on special occasions such as  holidays and town fiestas. Kalamay hati is usually eaten for breakfast with a cup of coffee on the side, while there are other people who enjoy kalamay as a snack.

Latik, which is a residue of coconut milk is sprinkled on top of the kalamay to make it taste better. It is simply made by boiling coconut milk or cream while continuously stirring until a solid residue forms. I love to have kalamay for breakfast because it keeps me full for a long time. A small slice of this wonderful rice cake is all I need to get me going and start my day.

  • 2 1/4 cups muscovado or brown sugar
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 cups coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup water

    Hi Kuya! Can you feature the recipe of Kutsinta Malabanos to your Panlasang Pinoy Page? I’ve been looking for this recipe but cannot find any in google . Its a brown rice cake with sweet red beans(red munggo beans). It is famous in Bulacan. Thank you very much in advance. More Power to you.

    You can, but the result won’t be the same. Brown sugar is still recommended.
