Kalamay, also spelled Calamay, is a sticky sweet delicacy that is popular in many regions of the Philippines. It is made of coconut milk, brown sugar, and ground glutinous rice. They can also be flavored with margarine, peanut butter, or vanilla. Kalamay can be eaten alone but is usually used as a sweetener for a number of Filipino desserts and beverages.^[1] It is similar to the Chinese Nian gao (also known as tikoy in the Philippines) but is sweeter and more viscous.

Kalamay is another favorite sticky rice-based kakanin (sweet delicacy) in the Philippines. It basically has the same ingredients as the espasol, but they differ in the manner of preparation and cooking. Kalamay comes in the form of a very sticky brown paste, although other colors in less viscous versions also exist. It actually has different versions, consistency, packaging and texture depending on location. In Bohol, it is spelled "calamay" and is sealed inside hollowed-out coconut shells. In Tarlac, on the other hand, it is called "nilubyan" and green rice is used. In Baguio, they call their kalamay, "kulangot" (Tagalog word for snot). Kulangot is usually packed in smaller sago shells to further the playful image. In other regions, flavors are added to their kalamay to make it distinct from traditional preparations. In Mindoro, for example, locals add peanut butter to the paste, while others add grated coconut meat. Historians have difficulty pinpointing kalamay's exact origins because of it's wide variety of preparations. While the use of coconuts and rice is a clear indicator of traditional Philippine cuisine, similarities in preparation lead some food historians to believe that it an adaptation of the Chinese nian gao, a rice dish commonly served during the Chinese New Year. Though names and recipes for kalamay vary from region to region, the base ingredients are consistently the same: glutinous rice, coconut milk and brown sugar.

Preparation

Kalamay is made by extracting coconut milk from grated coconuts twice. Glutinous rice is added to the first batch of coconut milk and the mixture is ground into a paste. Brown sugar is added to the second batch of coconut milk and boiled for several hours to make latík. The mixture of ground glutinous rice and coconut milk is then poured into the latík and stirred until the consistency becomes very thick. It can be served hot or at room temperature especially when eaten with other dishes. Viscous Kalamay are often served cooled to make it less runny and easier to eat.

Consumption

Kalamay is a popular pasalubong (the Filipino tradition of a homecoming gift). They are often eaten alone, directly from the packaging.^[2] Kalamay is also used in a variety of traditional Filipino dishes as a sweetener.^[1] This includes Suman and Bukayo. It can be added to beverages as well, like coffee, milk, or hot chocolate.

Biko and Sinukmani are similar dishes which use whole glutinous rice grains. The preparation is the same except that the glutinous rice is cooked whole and not ground into a paste. It is smothered with latík as well. In some regions (particularly in the Northern Philippines), this dish is referred to as "Kalamay", while the viscous kind is differentiated as Kalamay-hati.

Latík can also be used with other desserts, particularly with dishes made from cassava (it is then referred to as 'cassava kalamay').

Types of Kalamay

There are many variations and types of kalamay. Kalamay can be divided roughly into two types: the syrupy kind used in conjunction with other dishes, and the gummy chewy kind which is more expensive and usually eaten on its own.

Varieties include the following:

Bohol Kalamay - Kalamay from the island of Bohol can vary from extremely sweet to mildly sweet. It is distinctive for being sold inside halved smooth coconut shells (the mesocarp of coconuts, locally known as bagol or paya). These containers are then sealed shut with a characteristic red crepe paper (papel de japon). This type of packaging is known as Kalamay-hati (literally 'Half Kalamay').
Baguio Kalamay - a type of Kalamay from Baguio City, Philippines. It is also known Sundot Kulangot (literally 'Picked Snot') because of its consistency. It is sweetened with molasses which adds to its color. It is uniquely packed into halved pitogo (Sago Palm of the genus Cycas) shells and sealed with red crepe paper in a similar manner to the Bohol Kalamay. It is the smallest known traditional packaging of Kalamay. They are sold in bundles, several of these kalamay balls are nestled inside split bamboo and tied with a string.^[3]
Iloilo Kalamay - Kalamay from the province of Iloilo and the island of Negros. It is thicker in consistency than other types of Kalamay. The city of San Enrique celebrates a Kalamay festivalCandon Kalamay - Kalamay from Candon City, Ilocos Sur.It is sold wrapped in banana leaves or in coconut shells, though modern packaging uses polystyrene containers wrapped in cellophane. Candon City also celebrates a Kalamay Festival.
Nilubyan or Iniruban- a kind of Kalamay made from pounded green rice. It originates from Camiling, Tarlac in the Northern PhilippinesMindoro Kalamay - a version of Kalamay from the island of Mindoro. It usually contains grated coconut and is flavored with peanut butter or vanilla.
