In the Philippines there is a coconut and sticky rice cake called bibingka. I don't think bebinca is Portuguese in origin. I think it originated in India and spread throughout the world by South Asian sea traders. Thank you.
The best Bebinca comes from South goa. In a quaint "gado" or street shop opposite the Margao Garden, in the vicinity of the Old bus Stand, behind the Margao Branch of the SBI, is Frankie's Gado in line with numerous other knick knack shops. Franky sells the 12 layered home made Bebinca, which one must parcel and take away. Keep it refrigerated and have it cold , i like it that way, or, from the fridge, heat it to 30s microwave and your good to go. It lasts for upto a month silver foiled in the side shelf of your fridge.
People who have stayed for 20 years are not necessarily real Goans or their descendants. So very likely they haven't heard of it. In fact most people in Goa have no inkling of Goan customs or just half idea of what Goan food is assuming that it's just fish based. Take for example sorpotel or aadmass or solantule etc We Goans know these things because to our grandmothers during our childhood this was household stuff not the commercialized stuff you feed on now.
And that is sad. The same is happening in Macau. The Macanese who even speak Patua and Portuguese are dying and being replaced by Mandarin speaking Mainlanders.
When BBC came to Goa they were interested in video filming our Zibinca process but we did not agree for obvious reasons … BBC anytime if there is interest in letting everyone know the best available Bebinca from Goa we can oblige you with it but not the process. Cheers 🥂
Actually, there is strong evidence suggesting that is originates from "kuih bingka". Kuih bingka is a sweet malay delicacy from Malacca. It's believed that the Portuguese traders from melaka brought it over there
A taxi driver who's living in Goa for 20 years doesn't know wht bibinca is, like a south Indian who says he doesn't know what masala dosa is! 😂 what an .......
Thts because in the last 20 years people from Karnataka, Andhra, Bihar and UP have migrated there as daily wagers or to work in the tourism biz. Driving taxis is part of the tourist biz. Goans have either migrated or given up driving taxis as a biz.
The Portuguese gave India chillies, tomatoes, potatoes etc, etc. Please don't talk nonsense about what the Portuguese gave Goa. Historical fact, is still fact. There are a lot of non-goans who have lived in Goa for decades and know zero about Goa. You will learn nothing about Goa by speaking hindi in a taxi. These people are not goans and know nothing.
Not meant for all taste buds. It's the queen of Goan sweets! Maybe you didn't source it from the right places. It tastes different from different sources.
@@abhishekpeddibhotla conversion does not make me non Goan...but makes the greedy insecure......I would never prefer a non Goan telling me a Goan what's my history is when I know it better....we fought for our identity without anyone helping us....don't try to legitimise your rights.....

It’s similar to Philippine’s rice cake called Bibingka

Tasted and appreciated by our great food critic Ms Odette Mascarenhas.
Please try the Best … Zibinca 😋
When I first time tried it, I fell in love with it immediately. ❤
Thank you for sharing, good great news.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Please share this video with others and find some fresh bebinca like we did ;)

THANK YOU BBC
Pronounced as Bibic not Bebinka
2:55 just stuff it inside your mouth and a huge gulp. What all the drama about?
Then it wouldn't be enough Indian. 😂
That's what I said to my GF

Obviously because the taxi driver is a South Indian or a Maharashtrian. Goans don't drive taxis, they generally have migrated or own their own cars.

How weired !! The Sri Lankans have a dessert called Bibikan...and its Portuguese influenced BUT its TOTALLY different .
Us Filipinos also have a dessert called Bibingka but I think it is not Spanish influenced and only the name is similar.
Bebinca was always made with ghee n not butter.
Well I must say by looking at her attire she won't look like Goan looking

Sorry this didn't taste good at all😮

Its alright love Goa has lots of other sweets to try. Im being a native do not like bebinca and its not for everyone's tatse buds.

Nothing that came from or by Portuguese is Goan. Goan is in India.
We don't want non Goans to tell us our history
And how do you know if I was not a one..??@@mygoawithmathewalmeida3357
