   Hi Ij!

   Macapuno as a topping on the Buko-Pandan cooler dessert sounds great. You can also add pinipig as toppings. Try to put green kaong or jelly bean on top. Visit the “halo halo” section in your local grocery. You are sure to find many ideas there.

   Hope this helps.

   Thanks for dropping by.
