  • The name “Biko (bee-koh)” is believed to come from the Filipino word “Bibingka (bee-BING-kah)”, which refers to traditional rice cakes. 
  • Over time, biko became the name used specifically for this sticky rice version that’s cooked with coconut milk and brown sugar, distinguishing it from other rice cakes like bibingka (which is baked).
