Residents in Mandaue City in Cebu province started cooking up Monday afternoon their bid to set a record for the world's biggest bibingka (rice cake), in time for their fiesta. The residents started cooking the rice cake at 3 p.m. Monday and expect to finish it by 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Organizers said the rice cake would be as big as a basketball court, and would require 13,500 coconuts, 50 sacks of rice, and 50 sacks of sugar. Mandaue prides itself in its bibingka, a local delicacy that has become a hit with tourists visiting the city.
The finished product will be served during the city's fiesta, the report said. On the other hand, organizers pointed out the bid to set a world record had also been one of the highlights of this year’s fiesta.
