Sarah, we buy ubod in weekend or wet markets in Manila. However, I must say it pales in comparison with freshly harvested ubod from the provinces. The finest and most consistently fresh ubod I have seen is in the market in Bacolod, where they even chop it order from the main piece. They do that in the Carbon in Cebu and the main market in Legazpi as well but you have to watch that they take the most tender “tops” when you buy the ubod. As for this post, the ubod came from our yard in Cebu, so it doesn’t get much fresher than that. :)

Hello Marketman! I’m a frequent lurker on your blog and was wondering if you could tell me where you “source” good ubod here in Metro Manila? Thanks!

I hope some of the people in the disaster areas (especially the relief workers) realize this and somehow manage to eke out emergency sustenance from the many fallen coconut trees while waiting for supplies to come in. I believe that freshly grated ubod can be eaten raw.

Hey, the vietnamese use rice paper wrappers for their cha gio (like our lumpia shanghai) and they’re really yummy so it is a good option for our own lumpia, albeit more expensive…
