In reply to Fran. I'm sorry; I missed the chili pepper that you can add if you like.

Hi! I loved your recipes. You mentioned this recipe has a touch of spice in it. I wonder where can it come from? I didn’t see any other spice except for the regular sautéed garlic onion and ginger. Does the bagoong needs to be spicy?

In reply to Lalaine. Thanks for your reply, Lalaine. You're right about carabao milk being a flavor all its own. But to get that texture, do you have to strain the rice flour through cheese cloth?

In reply to Leah. Hi Leah, MY Aunt taught me how to make it but I have a problem making it here in the U.S. because I don't have access to carabao's milk. That is what makes it different from maja blanca which is made of coconut milk. I did try using homogenized milk and added a touch of salt to the mixture to mimic taste of fresh carabao's milk. The result, unfortunately, was not spot on but pretty close.

Hi, you mentioned tibok-tibok in this post. I know you have a maja blanca recipe but for me that's not the same as tibok-tibok. I hope you will find the time to post a recipe for the original kapampangan tibok-tibok. The kind that is snow white and very refreshing to eat, not rich or chewy. Thanks in advance.

In reply to Tricia. Hello Tricia Coconut cream is the first extraction (kakang gata we call in the Philippines), it is richer and creamier than the coconut milk which is usually the second or third extraction. However, the brand I use, Mae Ploy, is labeled "coconut milk" but is thicker than other brands of coconut milk.

This recipe sounds delicious but I can't help notice that it calls for coconut cream rather than milk. Is there a difference?
