Latík
''Latík'' () refers to two different coconut-based ingredients in Filipino cuisine. In the Visayan region it refers to a syrupy caramelized coconut cream (coconut caramel) used as a dessert sauce. In the northern Philippines, it refers to solid byproducts of coconut oil production (coconut curds), used as garnishing for a variety of desserts. Visayan ''Latik'' ''Latík'' in its original sense in the Visayan languages literally means 'syrup' (equivalent to ''arnibal'' in Hiligaynon). It can refer to any type of thick sweetened liquids including jam. In the most common usage, however, ''latik'' means a syrupy condiment derived from reducing coconut milk and sugar. It is used much in the same way as syrup, in dishes like ''kalamay'' and '' suman''. It is usually Anglicized as "coconut caramel." A commercial version of the Visayan ''latik'' is marketed internationally as coconut syrup, though it should not be confused with coconut sugar derived from coconut sap. Tagalog ''La ...

Sinukmani
''Biko'' is a sweet rice cake from the Philippines. It is made of coconut milk, brown sugar, ginger, and glutinous rice. It is usually topped with ''latik'' (either or both the coconut curds or the syrupy caramel-like variant). It is a type of ''kalamay'' dish and is prepared similarly, except the rice grains are not ground into a paste. They are also sometimes packaged and sold as '' suman''. It is also known as ''inkiwar'' ''in'' Ilocano Northern Luzon and ''sinukmani'' or ''sinukmaneng'' in the Southern Luzon area. In the Muslim regions of the Philippines, it is known as ''wadjit'' in Tausug; ''wadit'' in Maranao; and ''wagit'' in Maguindanao. A notable variant is '' puto maya'' in Cebuano-speaking regions of the Philippines. It is usually made from purple glutinous rice (called ''tapol'') soaked in water, drained and then placed into a steamer for 30 minutes.

Kalamay
''Kalamay'' (also spelled ''Calamay'', literally "sugar"), is a sticky sweet delicacy that is popular in many regions of the Philippines. It is made of coconut milk, brown sugar, and ground glutinous rice. It can also be flavored with margarine, peanut butter, or vanilla. ''Kalamay'' can be eaten alone but is usually used as a sweetener for a number of Filipino desserts and beverages. It is related to the Chamorro dessert called Kalamai. Preparation ''Kalamay'' is made by extracting coconut milk from grated coconuts twice. Glutinous rice is added to the first batch of coconut milk and the mixture is ground into a paste. Brown sugar is added to the second batch of coconut milk and boiled for several hours to make '' latík''. The mixture of ground glutinous rice and coconut milk is then poured into the ''latík'' and stirred until the consistency becomes very thick. It can be served hot or at room temperature especially when eaten with other dishes. Viscous ''Kalamay'' are oft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Coconut Jam
The coconut tree (''Cocos nucifera'') is a member of the palm tree family ( Arecaceae) and the only living species of the genus ''Cocos''. The term "coconut" (or the archaic "cocoanut") can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a nut. The name comes from the old Portuguese word '' coco'', meaning "head" or "skull", after the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features. They are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions and are a cultural icon of the tropics. The coconut tree provides food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine and building materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of the mature seed, as well as the coconut milk extracted from it, form a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics. Coconuts are distinct from other fruits because their endosperm contains a large quantity of clear liquid, called ''coconut water'' or ''coconut juice''. Mature, ripe coconuts ...

Visayan Language
The Bisayan languages or Visayan languages are a subgroup of the Austronesian languages spoken in the Philippines. They are most closely related to Tagalog and the Bikol languages, all of which are part of the Central Philippine languages. Most Bisayan languages are spoken in the whole Visayas section of the country, but they are also spoken in the southern part of the Bicol Region (particularly in Masbate and Sorsogon where several dialects of Waray are spoken), islands south of Luzon, such as those that make up Romblon, most of the areas of Mindanao and the province of Sulu located southwest of Mindanao. Some residents of Metro Manila also speak one of the Bisayan languages. Over 30 languages constitute the Bisayan language family. The Bisayan language with the most speakers is Cebuano, spoken by 20 million people as a native language in Central Visayas, parts of Eastern Visayas, and most of Mindanao. Two other well-known and widespread Bisayan languages are Hiligaynon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bukayo
''Bukayo'' is a Filipino dessert made from sweetened coconut strips. It is traditionally made by simmering strips or shredded bits of young, gelatinous coconut (''buko'') in water and ''sinuklob'', which is sugarcane muscovado sugar melted into a chewy caramel-like consistency. Dryer versions of ''bukayo'' with a crumbly texture are known as ''bocarillo''. ''Bukayo'' can be eaten on its own, usually rolled into little balls. But they can also be used as garnishing and fillings for other desserts, most notably for '' pan de coco'' and ''sinudlan empanada''. ''Bukayo'' is also spelled as ''bucaio'', ''bucayo'', ''bokayo'', ''bukhayo'', or ''bukayu''. During the Spanish rule of the Philippines, it was known as ''conserva de coco'' ("coconut preserve") in Spanish. It is also known as ''hinti' in Tausug.

Ube Halaya
''Ube halaya'' or ''halayang ube'' (variant spellings ''halea'', ''haleya''; from the Spanish ''jalea'', "jam") is a Philippine dessert made from boiled and mashed purple yam (''Dioscorea alata'', locally known as ''ube''). Ube halaya is the main base in ube/purple yam flavored-pastries and ice cream. It can also be incorporated in other desserts such as ''halo-halo''. It is also commonly anglicized as ube jam, or called by its original native name, ''nilupak na ube''. History The Philippines shows the highest phenotypic diversity of ube (''Dioscorea alata''), making it one of the likely centers of origin of ube domestication. Remains of ube have been recovered from the Ille Cave archaeological site of Palawan (c. 11,000 BP). Preparation The main ingredient is peeled and boiled purple yam which is grated and mashed. The mashed yam, with condensed milk (originally sweetened coconut milk), are added to a saucepan where butter or margarine had been melted. The mixture is stirred ...
