History
Ginataang Bilo-Bilo is a Filipino dessert or snack that is commonly enjoyed as a sweet comfort food. The Tagalog word “ginataan” comes from the word “gata” and loosely translates to “made from coconut milk.” “Bilo-bilo,” or rice flour balls, comes from the Tagalog word “bilog” which means round.
This dessert is said to have originated in Luzon, the northern Philippines Island. Over time, different regions adapted the recipe to make it their own.
