Tikoy
>> Saturday, February 5, 2011
It's the beginning of another lunar year and though, I am a little late in greeting everyone, I still wanna say, Kung Hei Wat Chai! As usual, we had some tikoy on the table, we didn't get to celebrate the event with fireworks and the whole hullabaloo as it was a weekday, and with work and morning classes, we can't spare an hour or so at midnight but we can't let a tasty treat such as Tikoy to pass our table.
As far as I know, Tikoy are now available in 4 variants - the classic white one (made with white sugar), the brown one (made with brown sugar, sometimes flavored with coco jam), the green one (pandan-flavored), and the purple one (ube/purple yam-flavored). I wasn't able to get the brown one, the store I went to was out of stock already so I had to contend with three. Prices range from 50php and above, the classic is still the most expensive one though.
Have you had your dose of tikoy this year?
