Bettyq-Thanks for the suggestion, but it’s budyawi…as Natie suggests.Though I wonder if kaong is one of those that you’ll have to boil down before consumption. My mother loves it, I don’t particularly care for it. I love nata de coco though…

see what your guinatan does, MM? Lahat nabuhay!!!

hey, Millet and Ms. Ebba! I was given a loot bag by one of hubby’s rep’s wife and the contents included skin care products. Now here is what I think….it is pretty darn cold over here and I need to use lip balm and everyone in my family. So…I will make ube flavoured lip balm as well as buko pandan lip balm using virgin coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E and the flavouring or paste….cool, eh?!?

Now, if only I can get lechon essence from MM…that would be so cool…lechon flavoured lip balm!!!!!!

We simply call it Ginataang Halo-halo. Sadly, I’m already diabetic so I can no longer eat this even if I want to :-(.

@J and bettyQ–in Iloilo, that is called Budyawi, still sold in wet markets.

Wow, beautiful color! Isn’t Orchid or the purplish hue the color of the year? (Read in Facebook…)

This dish is also called alpahor in Bulacan, a favorite.
