Kristin, yes, you are correct, landang, it is the autocorrect spelling that seems to mess things up often. I have previous posts on it as well… thanks.

MM…I think it’s called ‘landang’ not landing….. Ms. Millet, I always feed my craving for palagsing every time I managed to get home, ordering it from husbands hometown five hours away from where we are usually based..it’s my favourite breakfast pair with coffee on vacation days in the country.

Landang is what the pinkish center of the trunk is called. My mother has her relatives in Leyte on the lookout for it whenever buri trees are to be cut down in their farm. She has it sent to her when available. I do not care for it so much, but Nanay loves it. It’s the only way to stop me from eating her guinataan. D:

It’s a really starchy version of sago. I do not agree with the consistency. :/

i never knew barbecue sticks could be made from buri trunks. i always thought they were made solely from bamboo. MM, you have to watch “palagsing” being made. i wonder why the madrid fusion people haven’t discovered it yet.

hi Marketman, try getting a Bismarckia nobilis, its a bit expensive but easy to source here in the philippines, its grows like a buri palm, but it has a silvery- blue hue to its leaves

A colonnade of tall palms trees is always impressive as anyone who has visited Southern California or the Jardim Botanico in Rio would attest. Rarer nowadays though are the equally rivetting pandan mature growth formerly ubiquitous anywhere in the tropics. They grow profusely up the mountain top where the colossal Christ the Redeemer stands (in Rio). Aside from their mature fruits that look like Medieval mace, the winding way their foliage spiral is truly eye-catching httpss://goo.gl/PBu25y, perhaps right up there after the traveller palm httpss://goo.gl/Bxtbn8 for pure peacocky presentation.
