Another type of buko salad. I guess this is more colorful compared to the buko salad i posted before. Though this one is more meaty and my previous post was with more buko water.

Buko salad with mango.

A great summer treat!  We had this yesterday at lunch time.  I took one serving but deep inside i wanna have more.  It was not so sweet.  The juice was yummy and the buko meat was so soft to the mouth that you don’t need to chew anymore.

My version of buko salad which i love.

Ingredients:

Buko meat (scraped)
Buko water
condense milk
sago (green small ones or white small ones)
corn kernels

optional: you can use either of the following.

mango
green gelatin

In this photo, they added mango.  I don’t recommend adding sugar because the buko water is already sweet and the condensed milk also adds to the sweetness. Another great treat for the summer.

This is so sweet as in sweet.

People love to eat this with fresh grated coconut on top but me i like to eat it as is.

My throat hurts because my tonsils are inflamed!  REason? I just had so much sweets during the weekend until the birthday of my nephew the other day and yesterday i also had a glass of buko salad.  For sure my tonsils screamed for rest that is why am in pain to swallow now.  Am just praying that i won’t have URTI during the weekend.

Because i was not feeling very well since yesterday, i’ve already gobbled several Ascorbic acid and hopefully it will help.  Am still active but is experiencing some body pains.  With this pain, i feel like not doing my laundry tonight.  ‘The sink in our bathroom needs fixing so it’s not so comfy to do the laundry because the sink might fall of anytime.  How i wish the replacement would be one like the stone sinks i saw online.  They look so cool and neat, too!

They are so adorable.  Better check out their whole catalogue because they have so many that you will have a hard time which is so nice.

Let me share too a photo of my friend’s son enjoying an ice cream -

Now am wondering if Prince’s tonsils are also inflamed.  Prince here is enjoying a Durian flavor ice cream. (Dirty ice cream)

Last Sunday, we went out for a thanksgiving celebration.  Our group won the 2nd place last December and it was only last Sunday that we went out.  It would have been a high time for us to eat lots of meat dishes but we decided to go neutral but more on fruits.

While the assigned members went out shopping for the vegetables and fruits, they happen to read a flier regarding door hardware and other home products that is durable but very affordable.   I still have my copy and will visit Citi Hardware this weekend.

Here are some of the fruits we had last Sunday:

Some still think that chicken and beef recipes are the best foods for party but for those who are observing the healthy lifestyle – it is now a high time to eat more fruits.

I haven’t taken a single food photo during the last 2 weeks of December.  I think the last foods i took was during the baking class.  So before the 2009 be totally over – lemme share with you some of the food photos i haven’t shared in the two food memes i joined.

I missed 2 Fridays already in the food meme and i hope this coming Friday, i won’t miss any of them.

As for now, just enjoy these foods!

Alternately put together the solid and the liquid and mix them together until it become a smooth batter.  I call it MIRACLE BATTER!  We just can’t believe that we had the same batter yet we had different kind of desserts.

The same batter we used for the following:
