Rice is a must in every self-respecting Filipino meal, whether paired with ulam, made into porridge, or eaten as scrumptious desserts like kakanin. Made with glutinous rice, galapong, or sticky rice, kakanin were originally made as offerings to guests or pre-colonial gods. Today, they’re a staple in our merienda, holidays, and celebrations. The best ones are those from the neighborhood suki or sold in the market! If you’ve been craving for these sweet treats, we’ve rounded up some online stores that deliver kakanin to your home:

All of Kanin Kusina’s native cakes are made with pure galapong and without the use of flour and additives.
