Hi,
Anyone knows a shop selling fresh coconut from the Philippines? An online shop would be best, or atleast a number to phone?
Many thanks!

I hope it's as simple as that. I've just been out of the hospital yesterday and should say that I am not completely cured. I am still on a set of antibiotics, etc. I've got kidney infection and kidney stone at the same time. I thought fresh coconut could help flush my stone. Cranberry is not excatly an option for me cuz I can't bear the smell and taste.

:yikes: 3 GBP? That's very expensive! That's sad, I love buko, I could drink 3 buko a day. Wish it would be easy to ship them to UK.

I remember my mum used to drink the juice out from Butong (young coconut) every morning for about less than a year coz I think she had the same complained and that helped her a lot.Is it possible for you to stay in PI for a while to have those:Erm::Erm::Erm:

You can buy Young coconut in can at chinese store. They sell it online. I usually make fruit salad with buko and kaong. My family's favourite.
I miss buko pie :(
I live in Laguna and visiting Laguna is not complete without buying buko pie:xxgrinning--00xx3: Our most famous buko pie is The Original (Not so sweet and full of cocomeat). We have Collettes too. More sweety than The Original.
When I travelled Holland I had hand carry of those.:BouncyHappy: If I have visitors at home, that what I used to buy:xxgrinning--00xx3::) Be my guest:Hellooo::Hellooo:

Many thanks for all the replies. I'll try looking for the canned ones, but I just can't imagine it being the same as that of fresh coconut. I'll check it out though.
Collettes !!!! My usual travels to the south (when I was still in Manila) would not be complete without buying loads of Collettes! Grabe, sobrang miss ko na pala ang pinas!
I am toying with the idea of coming back to the Philippines actually to recuperate. Then I could have all the buko I need. But the timing is not favourable, so I'll just try and sort myself out while in here.
Salamat sa lahat!
Tell you what...I`ll send you a coconut and you send me a nice smoked ham weighing about the same...What do you reckon??
