So today I wanna share to you my Top 5 Rice Cake favorites but before that, this is the definition of Rice Cake according to Wikipedia. This is for those user from the other country that have not idea what rice cake is.

A rice cake may be any kind of food item made from rice that has been shaped, condensed, or otherwise combined into a single object. A wide variety of rice cakes exist in many different cultures in which rice is eaten, and are particularly prevalent in Asia. Common variations include cakes made with rice flour those made from ground rice, and those made from whole grains of rice compressed together or combined with some other binding substance.

Here's my Top 5 .

1.Palitaw

Palitaw is a small, flat, sweet rice cake made from sticky rice. It is washed, soaked, and then ground. Formed it into a flat circle and dropped into a boiling water. This rice cake called Palitaw because the indication that the rice cake is cooked is when it was rise in the water. Palitaw is best when served with grated coconut and sugar.
