Coconut Jelly

Yes yes, you have heard of coconuts before and yes of nata de coco. Believe us, this is true blue coconut flesh and not the mumbo jumbo fermented cooconut thing you see in supermarkets.

This thing rocks man. Superbly well and good for a hot humid sweaty day like today. There are the traditional ones formed within the coconut shells. Wish we could find those but beggars can't be choosers. We found them in plastic containers.

Taste like coconut, feels like coconut. Of course it does. It's made out of coconut. There is actual coconut flesh or meat (whichever word rocks your world) in the jelly. Nice change from the hard chewy nata de coco. It is advisable to consume the coconut jelly within a day or two as it will turn sour and bad. It won't turn into toddy. That's a post for another day. Seems like the jelly is made out of the coconut juice/milk and formed from cold and hot process. So, no seaweed nor any other agents or preservatives added.

Anyway, if you see it on the roads, do stop by and enjoy one. Best if on an extremely hot day. :)
