This is a rice cake variety from the Philippines known as biko. Though I am not fond of rice-based pastries/baked goods/cakes, this one is a particular favorite. Another is the kutchinta, which I will feature later.
The biko came from a friend's birthday party, who insisted that I bring home some biko.
And of course, whenever I eat, my favorite pastime while munching and chewing is playing chess against players among the international community.
Having enough to eat is a usually-overlooked blessing! And getting to engage in a hobby such as chess is an added bonus. Happy to be alive!
