Today was my lucky day. After getting something in Villa, my friend and I passed by Molo plaza and asked me if I already tried those bingkas being sold around. Then I remembered the comment made by Beaver months ago about them. Molo being out of my usual way seems to be a unreachable place for me that this bingka had to wait for a long time being featured here.
We literally created a traffic congestion along Molo plaza for around 5 minutes for we ordered 3 packs. Each pack costs PhP20 and contains 4 pairs of bingka. The girl happy with the sale even gave us 3 extra pieces.
Upon closer inspection, I was surprised to see how small and thin those bingkas were. It was just 3 inches in diamater and around 4 millimeters thick. So small but the taste?
Well, I had to wait for hours to be able to finally make my verdict. Of course after my photo session (really happy how the hotos turned out), I heat them in the microwave and finally had my first bite. It was sticky and mananam (umami) but only had a few strips of coconut but it was worth it.
Thanks to Beaver and this fateful day that introduced me to another native delicacy but a local twist.
