Using a wide bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and sugar. Do a quick stir to combine. Add coconut milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk together until batter is smooth and fully blended. Add young coconut meat or macapuno strings and grated cheese. Gently fold the mixture using a spatula until well combined.
