Kalamay sa Latik

Kalamay sa Latik is usually made out of steamed glutinous rice served in a sweet syrup made with palm sugar topped with toasted coconut oil with toasted coconut cream curd called latik.

Of all the rice cakes in the Philippines this perhaps is the odd one out as most of them are served dry or with a dipping sauce where you can consume it just either by using your hands or with a banana leaf, this rice cake can’t be served on either methods as it is consumed with a sweet syrup hence a bowl is a must.

Of all the rice cakes I guess this is my favourite and have totally forgotten it for a long time until my wife decided to make it. Kalamay sa Latik is usually made out of steamed glutinous rice served in a sweet syrup made with palm sugar topped with toasted coconut oil with toasted coconut cream curd called latik. Kalamay can be served in many ways and prepared in many ways depending on the region, some steam them and some cook them over a large wok by continuously mixing it until it thickens. Some enjoy it with sugar, some are already sweetened, some with grated coconut but I prefer it with this syrup.

It can be served as a merienda like how we do it back in the Philippines or even as a dessert, it’s quite simple to make than other latiks so try it and let us know how did it go.
