Wednesday Word: Bilo-bilo

[calzephyr]

Bilo-bilo - noun.

This is one of those times where I have to defer to others for the spelling--I have not had bilo-bilo, a Filipino dessert, but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find in my part of the world!

There are some variations, but basically it is a dessert made of glutinous rice balls in coconut milk with sugar.

Here's recipe which calls for sweet potatoes and plantains!

I've had deserts very similar to that, from that region of the world, but I don't think I've had the Filipino variety. And now I want to.

Oh yes, there's literally a world of desserts out there :D

Hubs is fond of red bean desserts, but I can't say I'm keen :-D
