    yes, you can cook biko without using an oven.

    you can make it using malagkit na bigas boiled/deep fried on a wok-like pan in coconut oil from the coconut milk mixed with bahaw (kaning lamig) then cook the caramel toppings separately over these sources of heat:

    1. stove top

    2. charcoal
