Hello Steemit Friends!
How are you doing on Steemit guys? Me, I'm still here, enjoying reading other blog posts... :D Anyway, I'm here again to post about "Buko" :) Do you know what Buko is? Of course you do! Duh, how can you not! ;) But for those who doesn't know yet, it's Young Coconut dude :)
Yes, that's me in the photo. The little mountain girl :) Do you like my hat? :D
Okay, let me tell you about my little history about being a mountain girl. :)
When I was young, I liked climbing coconut trees. I think I was about 11 or 12 years old. I was a climber girl! I always wanted to climb any trees that have fruits to eat. I can climb the coconut tree until to the top! I can sit on the leaves of the top while getting the young coconut fruits, and just take it by my hands. I was like a monkey! :D My parents always scold me every time they found out that I climbed a tree again. But I never listen to them. When they scold me, later on, I will scold my youngest sister who told them about my climbing adventure. :D It was fun for me, not only about getting fruits but also I like heights. I'm not afraid of heights... My body was very light to climb trees that time, but now I can't do it anymore even just the little tree...
Young coconut is called buko in the Philippines. Its flesh is soft, thin and silky and you can easily scrape it off with a spoon. But for me, I like making coconut spoon. (the one in my hand) Just like the old days...hehe
I love the coconut juice. It's really good when it's hot season or summer. I like the flesh or meat with milk powder and sugar :) I know some people they like it with condensed milk or something more sweets but I don't like very sweet. Milk powder and sugar is always the best for me, just like the old days...hehe
Here are the top 8 Buko treats for Filipinos:
Buko Pie = coconut pie
– associated with Laguna province
– it’s simply a pastry pie filled with young coconut meat
Buko Juice = young coconut water
– best when drunk straight out of the coconut whose top has just been cut off
– scrape the soft coconut meat out with a spoon
Pansit Buko/ Pancit Buko
– noodle dish where the noodles are coconut strips instead of flour dough
Sweet Buko Salad
– soft coconut flesh made with condensed milk and cream
– combined with kaong, nata de coco and canned fruit cocktail
Buko Pandan
– a fruit salad that’s a mix of young coconut flesh and green gulaman flavored with pandanus leaves; made with cream, sugar and coconut milk
Buko Maruya
a maruya is traditionally a banana fritter, but young coconut may be substituted for the banana ingredient
Buko Samalamig
– a street drink that’s like a light shake with sago pearls
Ice buko
– a popsicle made from young coconut juice, soft coconut flesh and milk; crowned with brown mung beans or red beans
What else?

That must have been fun when you were younger! You still look like you could climb a tree as you look very petite. How tall are you?
Mama said i was stubborn :D I'm 5'2 ft :)
You makes me remember my childhood @emonemolover through your post!
I really missed those times that we go to our farm to get some buko. Drink those very sweet buko juice at the shade of the trees.
Ang sarap balikan ang nakaraan ng ating kabataan kung saan ay masaya taung naglalaro at naghahabulan. At minsan pupunta sa bukid at mangunguha ng buko. Nalala ko noon na matapang kung inaakyat ang matatayog na puno ng buko. Haayyy ang sarap balikan ang isang alaalang lumipas...
Thanks for sharing this @emonemolover
Hello @elizahfhaye :)
Kahit ako, habang sinusulat ko tong post ko, naalala ko nong bata pa ako. haha kahit na magkahulog hulog na sa puno ay patuloy pa rin akong umaakyat... Nakakamiss yung mga panahong yun...
Thanks for stopping by :)
