"GlutinousRice" news and stories

World's largest calamay

What do you get when you combine 2,000 coconuts, 1.5 tons of brown sugar and half a ton of ground glutinous rice? The world's largest calamay.

The 2.5-ton sticky rice treat was recently unveiled in Candon City in the Philippines. It's the country's effort to topple the Guinness World Record for the largest sticky rice cake, which is currently held by the city of Niigata, Japan. To give some idea of the scale of this sugary treat consider that in an average day a calamay vendor uses some 55 pounds of glutinous rice. Oh, in case you're wondering, the one pictured above is not the Guinness contender.
