Fresh buko (coconut) and fruit salad
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieIngredients :
meat of 4 young coconuts
3 ripe mangoes
1 medium-sized melon
6 ripe bananas
1 c. of all purpose cream
1 c. sweetened condensed milk
2 tsps. of kalamansi (native lemon) juice
Cooking procedure :
Cut the coconut meat into slivers about half an inch wide and three inches long.
Cut the mangoes on both sides to remove the stone (seed). With a spoon, scoop out the meat then cut into chunks about two-by-two inches.
Cut the melon into quarters. Scape off the seeds with a spoon. Sccop out the meat with a spoon then cut into chunks as with the mangoes.
Peel the bananas and cut into rings about half an inch thick. Place in a glass bowl and toss with the kalamansi juice to avoid discoloration. The zesty citrous taste also sets off the sweetness of the milk-cream mixture wonderfully.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream and the sweetened condensed milk using a wire whisk.
Place all the fruits in a large bowl. Add the conocut strips and toss lightly. Pour in the cream-milk mixutre and stir lightly. Chill for a few hours before serving.

I think a more fun way to slice mangos is to cut the ‘cheeks’ as close to the seed as possible, then using a sharp knife, cut the flesh in each cheek into cubes before scooping them out with a spoon.
why is that more “fun”?
Because it’s easier and faster. and when you push the cheeks from under so that the cubes spread out it’s like watching a flower blooming. Well, almost.
Hi Ma’am! I love fruit salad. I was used to the fruit salad that uses the canned fruit cocktail until I recently discovered “Buko ni Fruta” in SM Clark food court. You can have Buko with fresh fruits. You can even have Buko pandan. ‘Yung buko fresh kasi babalatan s’ya once you order. ‘Di ko lang po alam kung ibang branch ang “Buko ni Fruta”. Share lang po.
More power po and thank you sa lahat ng natutunan ko sa inyo through this blog.
