Wajik Biko

I had this at a friend's house and she is from Philipines. A dessert called Biko which is quite similar to a very traditional Malaysian dessert called wajik. The girls and me like it so much. It is easy to make unlike the traditional Malaysian wajik.

3 cups glutinous rice (here i use japanese mochi gome)
2 cans coconut milk - 800 ml

Method:-

1) Cook rice in rice cooker with 2 cups of water, 1 cup coconut milk and a pinch of salt.
