Buko Pandan is a traditional Filipino Dessert which is a staple dessert for most Filipino get togethers. Some of the notable ingredients in this dessert is the pearls and the agar-agar.
If you ever visit the Philippines, purchase the Buko Pandan from Chow King, it is so good. They top the Buko Pandan with Coconut ice cream and it’s so delicious.
I remember when I visited the Philippines in 2009, the week I was to leave ,I visited the mall everyday to eat Buko Pandan. *sigh* Which brings me to announce, I will be visiting Philippines next summer 2015! YEY!! I will be going with my church and we will be doing health seminars and VBS. I cannot wait to go back!!
