Binignit is a type of fruit and tubers stew cooked in coconut milk. This Filipino meryenda dish originated from the Visayas region in the Philippines. It is mostly similar to Ginataang Halo-halo,except that the latter uses glutinous rice balls or bilo-bilo as part of the ingredient. In addition, binignit suggests the use of Muscovado sugar and “landang” (also known as palm flour jelly balls). These ingredients makes it different.

Cooking binignit is quick and easy. Everything should be straightforward provided that all the ingredients are prepared beforehand. Tapioca pearl is what I used in this recipe as an alternative to landang. Although it has no taste at all, it does give this dish a nice texture and helps make it look more appetizing. This is the ingredient that should be prepare beforehand because It will take a bit of time to prepare sago (Filipino term for tapioca pearl). It has to be boiled for a few minutes and soaked in cold water. As long as your sago is ready, everything should be in a breeze.
I enjoy eating binignit because it has the right amount of sweetness and I can easily distinguish the flavors from each ingredient. During meryenda (snack time), I like to have my dish warm, or even hot off the pot. However, I prefer it cold or at least chilled if I am having it for breakfast.
