Browsing my Flickr account, I found some old pics and of course found a Christmas goodie that can be enjoyed whole year-round.
Filipino Yuletide celebration is not complete without savoring some oldie but sure an all-time favorite Bibingka and Puto Bumbong.
Bibingka is a composed of rice flour, coconut milk, and water. It is often topped with margarine, sugar, sliced cheese and salted egg.
There is an old store named Felimar's Bibingka located near Tayuman Station of the LRT line 1. It's a humble store, with a quite dark ambiance, filled with several pugon(stone stove) and ceramic round pans. People from all walks of life often visits this store anytime of the day (yes! they can satisfy your late night craving :) ).Their best seller is this Bibingka...(i'll update the pic to a more vivid resolution once we have visited the store again.)
The texture of their Bibingka has a perfect combination of a fluffy pancake, hint of the salty-ness from the melted cheese, slight sweetness from the sugar, and the earthy flavor of the banana leaf which crusted the bottom part of the bibingka.
Enjoying this Bibingka is WORTH THE WAIT...
Often times, their patrons need to wait for the orders because the Bibingkas are easily bought right after they are removed from the pugon.
As I wait for my order, I observed how they mix their batter. It's like an art that needs focus and rhythm.
The person cooking the Bibingka goes back and forth the pail of their batter, the cheese platter, margarine container, and egg tray.
It's like they are cooking it in layers and adding margarine and cheese in between.The more special the Bibingka you ordered, the more tedious and the longer it takes to cook. They ensured that the charcoal on top and bottom of the ceramic pan has a good flame to cook the Bibingka perfectly.
For Dine in customer, they serve Bibingka with hot tea. The Bibingka comes with a batch of freshly grated coconut.
Price ranges from P35.00 -P75.00 per order.
Bibingka variety(from ordinary to extra ordinary)
Special Bibingka
Special + extra cheese
Special + extra egg
Super Special (double the toppings , Yum!)
