Royal Bibingka is not your regular bibingka. It is a popular rice cake that originated from Vigan, Ilocos Sur. It resembles a piece of mamon, or perhaps a Pinoy cheese cupcake at first glance, but it is a different piece of goodness that should not be ignored. It took me awhile to get the exact flavor and texture that I wanted, and now I am sharing myversion to you. I hope that you will like it.
I enjoyed the taste and texture of royal bibingka. To me, it taste like a combination of cassava cake and espasol (less the coconut), and it has a nice chewy texture. The cheese on top and the nice margarine makes it taste even better.
Each piece of royal bibinga that I made was tested so that I will know what to eat this with and when is the best time to enjoy it. My findings are not surprising. Eating this fresh out of the oven will give you a soft textured royal bibingka. This has something to do with the temperature. Having this several hours later in room temperature will give you a chewy textured one. I prefer not to refrigerate these to maintain its chewiness. I liked it best with freshly brewed black coffee. It was also great to eat with hot chocolate.
I think that this will be best eaten as a mid afternoon snack (meryenda). There are some people that might enjoy having this for breakfast. It might look like a possible candidate for dessert as long as you are having a light meal. Royal bibinga is heavy on the tummy. A piece of it can make you feel full quickly.
