Filipino Blogging Day #23: Kutsinta

Kutsinta is another kind of traditional Philippine rice cake made of rice flour, brown sugar and achuete. It can either be brown or orange and its texture is soft, chewy, but unlike the puto, is not cake-like. Coconut shavings are added for a little crunchy texture. This Filipino food is eaten for breakfast (almusal) and snack-time (merienda). Kutsinta is sold in almost every Philippine specialty store.
