We always have Buko Pandan salad every time we held a party or there's an occasions. We love to eat Buko Pandan after eating oily foods. Chilled Buko Pandan salad is very refreshing. Buko Pandan salad is so easy to do. First you needed unflavored gelatin that you would flavor with lots of pandan (srewpine) leaves. But you can also buy Pandan flavored gelatin instead and mixed it with hot water and put it in the fridge until it had set. Then slice it into a small cubes and place it in one container. You will then add grated young coconut meat, nestle cream, some condensed milk and stirred it up to make a delicious Buko Pandan salad. It was a bit thick and the flavor of the Pandan and the coconut was a good blend. You can also add fruit cocktails to add some flavor. Chill it well before serving. That is so easy and apparently a party favorite. There are also Buko Pandan juice and Buko Pandan ice cream. What other Buko Pandan flavor foods you know? Do you like to eat them? Thank you for sharing..

I love buco pandan from Max's restaurant, they put macapuno ice cream on it and they use macapuno instead of buco shreds. I like eating it in moderate amount, but I really prefer fruit salad than buco salad. When ever I dine at Max's I never fails to order buco salad for dessert.

Pandan leaves - Pandan leaves for buko pandan
Who would not love buko pandan. I think this has always been a big hit in all parties. This buko pandan can't be missed at all because it seems like no parties would be successful without buko pandan. The aromatic smell of pandan is actually adding very flavorful taste to the gelatin so I so love pandan and of course I love buko pandan salad but sometimes I do have problem with the gelatin. It is getting too watery and so it ruins the flavor of my buko pandan. Would you give me some tip on how to prevent this? I am using Mr. Gulaman brand and have been following the required amount of water to be added. Bu why is it that my gelatin still turns watery?

Hi there warrior_777! I love Buko Pandan! This is really one of the best local desserts that I love. I know how to prepare good Buko Pandan. But my favorite is that one which one of my aunts make. She uses real pandan leaves not like those that are sold commercially that use pandan flavoring. There are times when she would also use fresh carabao's milk in preparing this dessert. I can eat as much Buko Pandan as my appetite can allow. LOL!

my husband loves buko pandan whether it's in salad, ice cream or juice form. the flavor of pandan in the gelatin especially if it's mixed with milk really brings out the uniqueness of the buko pandan.
