I've been wanting to make this bibinka for so long and have been buying it in Chinatown since my grandma passed away last year. I just made the bibinka according to your recipe and it was perfect! This recipe is AWESOME and easy...exactly the way my grandma made it! Thank you so much...I look forward to making it again and again for my family. God Bless YOU!
