Delicacy sometimes serves as the trademarks of a certain place. Lot of delicacy you can find here in Philippines. One of them is this "kalamay" which is popular in the Bohol Philippines. Bohol also have many tourists spot that many foreigners will visit this place. Bohol is an island here in Philippines. Those who went to Bohol they brought of course this "kalamay." This is delicious because of it's sweetness and softness. This kind of dessert is sticky, sticky like a wet chocolate.

Do you want to make this one? Although in making this one takes a lot of time and effort. But one thing is for sure this very delicious that it's hard to compare from any other dessert. Before this "kalamay" was put in a coconut shell but nowadays they put in on a plastic materials like this.

Before we start making this dessert or we should say in cooking it. Let's ready the ingredients first.

INGREDIENTS:
So let's assume that you'll be making 1kg of rice. But these are different types of a normal rice. This is not kind of rice we used to cook for eating. This is the sticky rice (pilit, bisayan word) and black rice (tapol, bisayan word.)

• 3/4 sticky rice(pilit)-grilled
• 1/4 black rice (tapol)-grilled
• 5-6 coconut -grilled
1 1/2 brown sugar

LET'S START COOKING...

First you need to have a big pot in cooking it. When you placed the pot in the fire, put the coconut milk from the grilled coconut.(all of it) Then at the same time put the 1 1/2 sugar into it. If you're done putting the two ingredients, wait for it until it boils. Remember that the fire is not that strong and stable. We want to avoid the coconut milk will gets hard in the pot.
If it's start boiling, that's the time you need to mixed and mixed it until it became sticky. Of course you need a ladle in doing it. By the way there's no specific time to make sure that the coconut milk along with the sugar will be sticky. It will make sticky depends on how you mixed most of the time.
Now, the coconut milk with the sugar is now sticky. Put together the grilled black rice and the grilled sticky rice. After you put the grilled rice, the characteristics of the food you're cooking will became solid because of the rice. To avoid that, you'll be back on mixing it with the ladle. Let's make sure that the food is sticky but soft like this one.

this is the finish product

In cooking this kind of dessert you are aiming for a soft food like an ice cream. If you'll lazy in mixing this kind of food, the food will be a waste. It's not good to eat when it's hard. There that's the thing you must remember in making this kind of dessert.

By the way, the name of rice just invented by myself because I have no idea what's the translation of it. I just named it base on their characteristics and colour.

This reminds me to Indonesian traditional dessert called wajik and haluwa but it's quite different because it contains grilled coconut's .. not the coconut milk/cream

Always fascinating to see what people eat locally, and how they prepare it. It's looks basically like caramelized rice. Do you eat it with fruits like banana??
