Im in illinois USA, and we could not fine tuba here for sure. So, what is the substitute for that in the ingredients ? I love bibingka, one of my favorites… Thanks for posting the mouth watering pictures and the recipe…i will try it my own.
I hope you guys can answer me question. By the way, can you email to me the whole recipe for the bibingka that taste like catmon but made in the USA, using some substitutes.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Like Joie on Maui, I remember my grandmother (from Siquihor, 1911) making bibingka using cake yeast in the 1940’s on the island of Kauai. I used to help her grind regular rice using the guilinang (?) and watched her cook the breadlike cakes over and under a makeshift charcoal stove using gallon cans. The freshly cooked cakes were so uniquely yummy! Do you have a basic recipe for me to follow so that I can do some experimenting to see if I can duplicate Gramma’s unique bibingka flavor with the help of my uncle who was her constant helper.

Nostalgic feelings come to mind when I remember the Bibingka in Catmondaan on Thursdays (market day). They were only P0.05 each then. But that was a long, long, long time ago.
Bibingka was only 25 minutes away from us then…from Macaas North of Catmondaan where I stayed with my great grandmother and 25 minutes east from Baktas where I stayed with Mama Ason, my maternal grandmother.
