tikoy is the filipino term for a chinese rice cake, a concoction of finely ground sweetened glutinous rice; you slice it into thin strips, dip the strips in beaten egg and fry it until it browns. and you drink it with hot tea. this delicacy is available only during the chinese new year in toronto, but in manila, philippines, it is available almost all year round, but most especially during the Christmas season and the chinese new year.by the way, this one in the picture is about a year and three months old but it still looks good. i will eat it on the weekend. if i continue to post my one photograph a day, it means i am still alive!
