Ebolusyon ng Latik

My wife was tasked to make a "Biko", which is a favorite delicacy in the Philippines. One of the ingredients of the Biko is the Latik and a Biko can never be served without the Latik. I was just amazed at how a simple coconut milk can turn into this topping which adds a very unique taste to the Biko.

My wife already finished coking the "biko", rice cake,  when I decided to shoot the making of the latik.

Latik is primarily just coconut milk but by frying in a pan and continuously stirring, it produces a golden brown thing which can be used as a topping.

Oh, and by the way, have I mentioned that the coconut milk produces a lot of coconut oil and that you can use this oil as an alternative to hoit oil? Try it!

And now, here's the final product...

And the Biko...

All shots were taken using my Nikon D300 with Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 and Nikon SB 900 mounted on the Flashwave  3 flash trigger.
Cheers,

Joey
