Sinukmani or Biko is my fave childhood kakanin. Sinukmani or Biko is a Filipino rice cake made from glutinous rice (in tagalog we call it as malagkit), coconut milk, and sugar. In Laguna, it is locally known as sinukmani and in Manila it’s Biko.

Sinukamani is one of the best Filipino delicacies (derived from the word “kanin” which means rice) and is often served as dessert or mid-afternoon snack or meryenda in Filipino language.

Biko is very common in all occasions celebrated in the Philippines. It is an all time hit desserts for Fiesta and holiday feast.

This recipe is a bulk recipe of 2 kilos, fit for a huge family servings. Be ready because you may need an extra strength and muscle mixing these 2 kilos of rice. You may use half of the recipe for lesser serving size.
