Description

Mention the name “Dolor’s” and a particular kakanin or rice delicacy instantly comes to mind—sapin-sapin. Neatly placed on a bilao (circular bamboo tray), this rainbow-colored treat is made with glutinous rice flour, sugar, condensed milk, and cold-pressed coconut cream. Each layer of color corresponds to a particular flavor: white for cassava, purple for kalamay ube, red for kutsinta, yellow for maja mais, and brown at the center for biko. Half of the outermost part is a sapin-sapin, divided into three shades of white, yellow, and purple. This soft and gooey treat is typically served with latik (toasted coconut curd) and a generous sprinkling of budbod (toasted coconut bits).
