Ginataang Mais is a type of Filipino snack made out of corn kernels, glutinous rice, coconut milk and sugar. Usually served during merienda but others have them for dessert. A close relative to creamed rice but instead of using milk or cream during the preparation process coconut milk is utilized.

Rice is a stable back in my home country hence we have them almost every time of the day starting at breakfast, then as snacks in the form of rice cakes, lunch, afternoon snacks like this one and dinner, we even have rice cake desserts. There are many rice dishes like this in the Philippine cuisine from the sweet ones like the Lelot Balatong and Champorado as well as savoury ones like Goto and Arrozcaldo.

How about you do you have any rice dishes in mind?
