Here's how to cook tsamporado.

What you need:

1 cup sweet/sticky glutinous rice (malagkit)
5 pcs Tablea (cocoa tablet), shredded
1/4 kl sugar
4 cups water
salt
evaporated milk (optional)

On a pot, put the rice and water. Bring to boil while stirring constantly. When the rice is almost cooked (a little bit transparent), add the shredded tablea, sugar and a pinch of salt. Lower down to medium heat, continue stirring until the rice is cooked. Swirl evaporated milk on top before serving.

*** if tablea is not available, you can use about a half cup of cocoa powder.
Powdered milk also works well with tsamporado, actually I prefer this one. *wink*
