A Taste of Home: Biko

My friends came to pick up their plants today. I am giving them some spinach and bean sprouts as I went overboard with gardening. I did not expect them to give me a tray of "Biko" or Filipino Sticky Rice Cake in exchange. I am happily nibbling it now as Filipino food is a luxury for me here in UK.

Have eaten half of it already. I feel quite guilty as it is before dinner.

Why do you know Biko? Are you from the Philippines, or have you visited our country before? oh! I think you are a Filipino... by reading your blog.

How nice is that? And obviously your garden is doing really well if you are already giving away produce.

Yes it is. I just need some more pots as I need to repot things so I can keep them even in winter.

Most definitely these tastes that we cannot get readily in a foreign land.
