Coconut Quote by Lonely Planet
““GOING COCONUTS FOR BUKO PIE Throughout the regions around Tagaytay and San Pablo, you’ll see roadside stands selling buko pie, a local delicacy. Sort of like a custard pie, the treat is laden with tender slices of fresh coconut. There’s only one size sold – large – so have some friends to share it with, or plan on making some. Among the many vendors, the 50-plus outlets of Colette’s are the best. You’ll find them along any major road. The pies (Click here) are made fresh throughout the day in each store. If your pie isn’t fresh out of the oven, ask for one that is.””
