Biko, Nilupak & Kalamay na Mais by Toyang Noresa

Kakanin is a whole genre of Filipino delicacies whose main ingredient is usually rice, sometimes corn or a root crop like cassava.

Examples of popular kakanin are puto, kutsinta, palitaw, pitchi-pitchi, and tibok-tibok.

Puto Bumbong is perhaps the most popular kakanin during the Christmas holidays in the Philippines.
