a natural coconut sculpture? ubod is one of the best-tasting parts of the coconut, if i say so myself. only thing is that it somehow signifies the end of the coconut tree’s life. :(

Thanks for this entry, MM. Did you know I was somewhat counting on you to come up with a grand gourmet entry? And you did. This looks lovely. I hope you get to put up a restaurant beside Per Se someday, and serve this. Hooray for the coconut!

It looks like a Boholano tarsier smushed into a tiny toilet paper roll… hahaha. sometime lurker, ubod is also known as “heart of palm.”

oh and the ‘apparition’ i see, is a fetus, or the child in a mother-and-child abstract, or even impressionist, painting.

What if you give napoleon abueva or eduardo castrillo an ubod trunk to carve? An ubod sculpture will definitely be better than a tacky ice carving or an overused chocolate fountain. On a next Fores catered event perhaps?
example: An ubod sculpture centerpiece with lumpia assemblage inspired by Bernini’s fountain of the four rivers.
