This is black and white sticky rice in coconut milk, one of the many favourite native delicacies in the Philippines. We normally cook this during special occasions like Christmas, birthdays, fiesta celebrations or any time we feel like eating biko. I like making this sometimes especially when it's a cold and rainy day. - florex
