What is the name of this filipino dessert?
Um, my mom makes it but she doesn't know what its called:
Some of the ingredients are macapuno strings(coconut strings) & Mochiko, which I think is Crushed sweet rice flower. She makes a little flattened ball and cooks it in brown sugar.

It doesn't sound familiar to me. At first, I thought Cassava but the kind my aunt makes doesn't have brown sugar. Then I though Kalami <sp?>. Check the website at the bottom. It does have a few pictures. Good luck finding out.
Could it be this:
Cascaron - bitsu-bitsu
Yield: 1 Recipe
Ingredients
1 pk Mochi flour
1 Coconut; grated, place -coconut in a large bowl
1 1/2 c Hot water; pour into bowl -of coconut
1/3 Box of dark brown sugar
1/4 c Cold water
Directions
Squeeze grated coconut in water than strain coconut water in clean dish towel over another bowl. Squeeze until all liquid has been extracted. (Instead of fresh coconut, you may use 1/2 can of grated coconut and 1 1/2 cups of water.) Place canned coconut in flour and add water until dough is soft but not too sticky. Do the same with fresh coconut. Shape dough in balls of 1 inch diameter and fry in deep fat until golden brown. Drain dough balls on paper towel. Then put them in a large mixing bowl. When all have been fried, boil water and brown sugar in a small sauce pan until it reaches the soft boil stage. This is done by placing a drop of syrup in a bowl of cold water. If it retains it shape and is soft, it is ready. Pour over dough balls. Mix well so that all are coated with syrup. Remove from bowl and place them in a platter to cool. Excellent with coffee or tea.
