I love coconut food delicacies like the ones you posted here. It is indeed a tree of life with so many uses from its roots to leaves.
-
Me too. I love all the foods from the coconut as well as the young coconut.
Especially buko salad, wow, it’s delicious. Though it could be costly to make one.
The lumpiang sariwa is also a favorite. Though, I don’t make it but just always buy from an eatery that really makes a very delicious one, even without the dip.
Do you like bukayo too. Here, you can buy a pack for just 20 pesos. I would buy one every now and then and keep it in the drawer of my office table. I eat it for dessert after my brunch.

I never knew that part “ubod” could be eaten ..i thought you posted a photo of a bamboo shoots but when I googled it it was really ubod..
buko indeed is very useful and deserves to be called “the tree of life” .. we have lots of coconut trees around and just last night I made a buko ice cream.
-
@kat2x ,
I suppose you are a Filipino too. So, you don’t know what ubod is.
Actually, it can be eaten raw. It’s sweet and delicious as it is. But when made into a veggie viand with coconut milk, some slices of pork, chopped finger chili and some pepper, a little salt , garlic and onion , it is so delicious!
Also you should have a taste of the fresh lumpia which is sauteed ubod, with some chopped baguio beans, julienned carrots, chopped roasted peanuts wrapped in a wrapper made of egg. It’s so delicious too. Especially with a dip of a bit sweet with chopped roasted peanuts, it’s heavenly.
Buko ice cream? I have tasted an ice cream with buko bits and it indeed delicious too.
SO i bet your buko ice cream is delicious. 🙂

I think a coconut tree was probably in the Garden of Eden. Eden was a paradise. A coconut is a fruit of paradise. Seems a logical thought. 🙂 I do love coconut!
-
Hmm, really you think of that as in the Garden of Eden. I don’t though, because the setting there i think is not of a tropical country. 🙂
So, have you seen a coconut tree? Where did you see it? Have you already tasted a buko(young coconut) salad?
What are the other foods from the coconut that you have eaten?
It’s juice is so delicious too. I suppose you have already drank one. 🙂

really thats so sweet from you and yoru friend who did all that, nice things means meaningful things not pricey things, its by the menaing oft he things not by the price of the things or by it is sizes, its only has a meaning when its from people you like and when you need it or they need it and gave it to you, its so beautiful to feel for others when they dont say a word and help also without them to ask you to help

@mangoh ,
Thank you for saying that.
They are after all my parents. I am just trying to return the love they gave me and my siblings while we were growing up. They sacrificed a lot in order for me and my siblings to have a nice life and be sent to college.
Now, that I already have a family, I see to it that I still have the time to be with them in my free days from work and give them the things they may want. Although, my father being a retired judge have a big pension, this little thing such as giving to him this gift that is supposedly for me, made him so happy.
-
-
That is so nice to hear this thing about you my friend. You are a person with a kind and generous heart , because you like sharing things especially when it comes to our love ones.
You share without asking for return and that is what is expected of us when we help people or share our time to help other people.
Really, you volunteered in Central Asia? When was that and what did you do as a volunteer? And were you not given any allowance for your needs there, or were you in allowance basis?
It is really a nice feeling when in our own little way, we are able to share what we have not waiting for any return at all.
-
That is how we should be to our parents. Loving and caring. Even if we give them little things, it means a lot to them already.
That’s because they feel important when we give them these things they want. Especially, when they are already getting old, the least we can do is be with them, talk and share stories with them. Time is already getting shorter for them, so we should find the time to even just be with them and give them small things like their favorite foods.
They took care for us all since our birth and until we can be on our own already, so when the time comes that they are already a bit older, we can start paying back those days when they took care of us.
-
So funny. Moms can complain about a gift we give them and we’ll bend over backwards so that she will be pleased. :0
-
@Treathyl FOX ,
Yes, moms would complain of our gifts. My mother is like that.
She would complain that she has lots of them already, when I gifted her a shawl and a bag.Father got angry at her for being that way and reprimanded her that she should be happy we gave her a gift and it comes from our heart. The next time around , she didn’t complain anymore.
That is why, I like giving a gift to my father, because he would really smile from ear to ear and would thank profusely for it. Little things means a lot to him already. 🙂

That was what I am sorry for. I was so thin when not yet married, but after giving birth I gained weight so fast though I was so busy with an office job that time. Now I am overweight, trying to lose some weight. It’s good we decided to go on strict diet and daily exercise of walking and biking every morning. Plus moving a lot while inside the house or walking inside malls (ha ha ha!).

@ Dina
You are lucky that you have inherited your mom’s genes and that of our grandma’s Chinese lineage, that is why you look younger than your actual age.
You are also always smiling and that you have a positive outlook in life.
-
@Ruby ,
Thank you for saying that. I think it’s Ruben and Rose who also inherited that in your family.
But you are correct, I smile and laugh a lot. Simple jokes can already make me laugh out loud already. I also have a positive attitude. I always think that if we are having a problem, we just have to do what we can to solve it. When it cannot be solved, give it to God and just hope it will soon be solved.
Positivism is also helping me really to look and feel young.
Though, you still look young for your age too, Ate Rubs. And so with Ate Ruth. I guess we in our clan have that gene.
-
As what they also say, “it runs in the family:
You just don’t laugh, you laugh with your eyes and i think that is one of your asset.
Any problems you have in life, it does not show. You carry yourself well!
-

you are good in that post that how women feel but we all have different bodies, and i saw many women that looks really much younger than her real age, i guess this people who smile alot and live the life as it is and take good note of their life experiences as that affect how you look, how you feel, thanks for bringing this issue to us before its late
-
@dealio ,
Our positive outlook in life, reflects in our face, thus we look & feel younger. Smiling a lot, laughing and joking are helping us to feel young too.
As to stress, that is inevitable. It comes to each and everyone. We just have to have a good way of dealing with problems so we will not be stressed much.
Do what we can do to solve a problem. But when you cannot you ask from people you are close with. In addition, ask for the help of God. He too, is always just waiting for us to call on him for help.
Though, eating healthily and exercising are the primary things that really helps in us to look and feel young at our ages. 🙂

sorry but i hate kfc theya re full of oil, sometimes the chicken is notwellcooked and smell like old and the service is horrible, for the price the price is too much to the food hat you eat with that low quality, I will never go kfc again, and when i complain they do not care, omg how bad they are
@trees
Oh is that so? Well here, maybe because there are a lot of competition, restaurants would really make their fried chickens delicious.
KFC fried chicken here is delicious. Although, since I have my favorite which is a local one from here, I rated it a little lower.
So what restaurant in your country, offers the most delicious fired chicken?
“nakakagutom naman!”
I can’t help but shout this in our language.
When Bon Chon opened, we tried it and I liked it because of its sweetness and I’m a sweettooth. But, if eaten often, its sweetness is a bit overwhelming.
I like KFC, not so much for their fried chicken, but for their mushroom soup hehe.
If I have enough money and I am with my family, we surely will go to Max’s.
But if I have limited money, I’d always take the Crispy Chicken Sandwich of McDo. i also love its apple pie.
Din, what’s DIY? Sorry haven’t been to this place yet.
Jollibee, a ‘playsafe’ kind of place. If you don’t know what to eat, go to this place.
How about Army Navy?
@Ruby ,
Ate Rubs, yes I am sure those that have read this, will surely say that “nakakagutom”, (made me hungry?) I don’t know how to put it right in English though. lol
Really, you like Bon Chon’s fried chicken. I have this taste for chicken which should be a bit salty but not sweet, though if it is of sweet and sour taste, I would surely love it. You have a sweet tooth indeed, since you like it.
DIY Burgers , which literally means Do It Yourself Burgers , is a restaurant that serves very big burger and you can customize what to put in your burger by choosing what are those stuffs you want. For every filling , there is a corresponding amount. he he he
And just like you, if it is a family outing and have a big budget , we will certainly go to Max’s .
But if not McDo or Jollibee would be affordable yet so filling already. 🙂
I haven’t tried Bon Chon though it was opened months ago in mall here. I don’t like sweet chicken. Of those you mentioned, I (we) like Max’s best, though the other ones are cheaper. My next choice is Jollibee chicken. Thanks for the review, and yes, these companies should pay you for endorsing their chicken!
I like it so much.
@Mohammad Rafiq Akhtar ,
Which one of those do you like much? I have enumerated and described 6 different stores that serves it.
Do you like the breaded fried chicken or the as it is fried chicken?
In your place, what are those stores who serves delicious fried chickens?
So which one do you like going to, to eat fried chicken. How much do they cost? Do they come with rice and a coke too?
Is fried chicken one of your favorites too? For me, it is. It cannot be helped that when I go to the mall I would always choose fried chicken with rice budget meal.
That price of $5 is expensive compared to the fastfood outlet’s budget meals for 2 piece chicken, with rice , gravy and a drink.
Though for the fine dining restaurants, the are the same for their budget meal of chicken with side dish, a dessert and softdrinks.
