Hahaha! Jello cathedrals – yeah we had them too year after year together with the macaroni salads and fruit salads (though for us it’s mainly buko with canned fruits).
I agree we should be using the gorgeous fresh tropical fruits we have instead of opening cans of pickled fruits and canned creams.

My dad used to love a fruit salad with peanuts, and a buko salad with corn. My in-laws make fruit salad with a dash of mayonnaise.

Marketman, frozen fruit salad with kaong and nata de coco is common in Pampanga.

I wholeheartedly agree, we should be developing a tropical fruit salad but having had our tastebuds conditioned to temperate country fruits, it will take a lot of undoing. Ayayay

I knew this was a national favorite… just could not have imagined all of the add-ons. Gigi’s red sago and leche flan – for a pink tinge and additional heart attack material! Loget’s condensed milk (a recurring theme) and cream cheese! and sour cream – can’t say I have tried this but sounds intriguing! Ana’s little marshmallows…my daughter would approve. Suzette with a condensed milk whopper! Sasha your comments are so kind…they make me feel good… if many of you out there find some slice of home on this website then I feel it is all worth it! Mila and acidboy, white food fixation must be the reason we listen to so many ads for kili-kili whitening lotions and bleaching soaps! Jacob’s mom buko I have added and when it is fresh and sweet it is superb! May Ann, I have an earlier post on mango sago if that helps! Willy, the chewiness of kaong give this salad some bite, otherwise its so mushy no? Hchie, your cheese addition is the most novel for me of all the suggestions… Thanks everyone for your comments!

We make it with coarsely grated cheese (local Kraft in a box) and it makes you eat more since you’re running after the salty and then the sweet!

try it with those kaong sold in bangkok (bagged not bottled or canned in syrup)…they add that pleasant chewiness in the salad…

what is it about the pinoy palate and everything that is white and creamy? fruit salad, caesar salad,creamy pasta sauce, extra creamer on the coffee, that fish dish with loads of mayonnaise and crushed pickles, mayo dip, mayo on the burger/hotdog/ma-ling/spam…….
