The Real “Buko” Salad
Buko salad in Davao
When I’m in my hometown, Davao, I can’t think more about anything but food. It’s one thing I missed the most when I’m away. Like this young coconut salad which we fondly call “buko” salad. I remember we used to shred the coconut meat and put it in a container to make buko salad. But now it can be mixed in its shell and it’s ready to eat. It’s fresher than when it’s refrigerated. Moreover, the fruits stay fresh, too. This buko salad have bits of mango, honey melon, papaya, banana and pineapple. And drops of milk to go with the fresh juice of the buko. Love it!

Oh may gas, buko salad is my fave. Hindi ganito ang buko salad sa Cebu, sineshred sya at nilalagay sa ibang container. I like this idea na ilalagay sa mismong buko. Ang sarap tingnan!
Kumusta, Marlene? Im back!!!

Hey Marlene, this sounds appetizing. I haven’t tried coconut delights before. The mixtures that you have just described sounds a lot different from what I had before. One day I will try this.

waahhh inggit ako. gusto ko rin yan, haha. Pag umuuwi kami umaakyat sa puno ng niyog ang mga pinsan ko or manghihiram kami ng pang sungkit? Then doon na kami magkakainan. Fresh na fresh.

“coconut meat ” – whats that
Reply
Marlene replied on July 14th, 2009:
That’s the white inner part of the coconut, I suppose. I call it meat cos we can’t shred the whole coconut.

Looks kinda sweet to me …

Maricris, kaya magsasawa ako nito habang nandito ako, kasi pagbalik ko’ng Sweden wala na, heheee!
Bakasyon is ok. It’s not too warm here in Davao kapag July.

@Marlene- I wanna to make this salad at my home. Pls tell me real quantity of ingredients in it. I am waiting for your reply.
Reply
Marlene replied on August 1st, 2009:
Hello, sorry for this late reply. I’ve read your comments before but slipped my mind. Anyway, here’s how to do it. Please get or buy young fresh coconut. When you open it, don’t throw the water because you will mix the fruits with it later after shredding the coconut. The fruits are mango, pineapple, papaya and watermelon sliced into pieces. Add a little milk to suit your taste. Done. Hope this will help.

Yesterday after reading this post i tried to make salad at home. It was good but not much better. It may be because of quantity of ingredients. I know that those are not balance.

Marlene replied on August 1st, 2009:
You must have forgotten the juice (water) from the coconut. It’s the one making it tasty.

I hope you will reply me when you visit to this blog.
