Bibingkang Itlog

Leave a comment Posted by on June 7, 2013

Bibingkang itlog is the only bibingka that is soaked or dipped in vinegar when eaten. It is made purely from penoy. Think of it as an unfertilized duck egg omelette.

Pulasan is a tropical fruit similar to rambutan but has thick spines instead of hair-like ones and is easier to peel. Its seed is edible with nutty taste. I like to eat the seed more than the fruit.

Bibingka is made from rice flour while suman sa lihiya is made from glutinous rice. Both use banana leaves as packaging.
