Filipinos are big fans of sticky rice (also known as pilit meaning to stick). I was brought up eating these. Sticky rice can be made from meals to simple sweet treats. It may be homemade passed on from generations or commercially made to cater the general public. You could see an array of selections from the mall, local markets and yes! even at home. Here are some that you might have tasted and reminisced your sweet childhood with. I hope you enjoy!
Ibos with mascovado sugar
Sinakol from Alimodian. Shaped in a circle with a slightly rough texture that has coconut bits.
Pilit. A smooth sticky texture blended in mascovado sugar to give its brown color.
Palutaw (float) with mascovado sugar and sesame seeds. Sticky rice that are dropped in boiling water that rise up when cooked hence the word palutaw.

Linugaw or Lugaw is a very thick grin sticky rice mixture in coconut milk (or gata) with sago (tapioca), gabi, sweet potato, banana, strips of coconut and sticky rice balls.
