<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">    If you are a tourist and you are going to Bohol, you definitely missed a part of it if you've never tried to taste  one of the best and known delicacy in Bohol, the '<i>KALAMAY</i>'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">   The best kalamay in Bohol is found in the municipality of Jagna. It is known as the kalamay town in Bohol. You can buy this if you've been traveling from Tagbilaran City to Ubay. Once you are  near to Jagna's market, you can hear vendors yelling for <i>kalamay</i> and offering it to the passenger's of the bus or van for hire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">   Bohol's version of kalamay is normally made of ground sticky rice "malagkit" (in Tagalog), dull sugar, coconut milk, vanilla and a few peanuts (discretionary). Since Bohol has likewise a decent creation of its farming, the rice, furthermore coconuts for occurrence, this delicacy has been designed and routinely made. Furthermore in light of the fact that Boholanos are inventive and clever, they utilized the coconut shell as the compartment that would contain the kalamay. They thought that it was exceptionally valuable in making their item saleable. For Boholanos, the length of they thought that it was helpful, they'll use it. Until then little plastic straightforward holders come into the style. Rather than utilizing the coconut shell as the holder, some simply want to utilize the plastic one since it is more agreeable to get than of those the coconut shell compartment. However, there are still a few buyers that truly need to purchase those that are in the coconut shell that is the reason there are still a few uses the coconut shell as its holder. There are truly purchasers who cherished the old style, the first style, which just uses the coconut shell as its holder. This coconut shell is glued with a red band around it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">   The procedure really taking shape of Kalamay is not that simple as what others may consider. There are a few variables to be considered and be considered. Some of which is the tolerance and adoration. Tolerance is required in light of the fact that it requires hours of cooking time and mixing over low fire. It ought to be done legitimately, in agreement to its appropriate method. What's more, Patience ought to likewise be an excellence in making it for it to taste great. Beside Patience, one should likewise adore his work for a work without adoration may wind up in disappointment. It would not wind up on a par with that work with affection. As what other individuals said that in accomplishing something, affection and tolerance should dependably be available to accomplish the best out of it. Boholanos particularly those from Jagna, may truly likely have the tolerance and adoration in making kalamay, coming about their kalamay to be in the same class as what we have tasted. They have accomplished the taste they need their item to be.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 115%; text-indent: 0.5in;">There are a couple of ways to make
biko. One method is steaming the sticky rice first until partially cooked
and then finishing it off in a coconut milk-sugar syrup. The second method  is cooking the sticky rice straight in the syrup. This method results to a
biko that is richer in flavor as it gets to absorb more of the coconut milk
during cooking. Try this 2nd method and let me know what methods suite's your taste.</span></div>
