Read the story and buy some Fresh Young Coconuts (Set of 3)
Today went with Sahur and some other Dutch tourists to an excursion up in the mountains near Senggigi. After a good hour of trekking (often with no path at all, Sahur meanwhile guiding and happily proceeding barefoot in what I wouldnt describe as the easiest ground) we arrived to a tiny isolated village. Like everyone here in the island the folks there were very friendly and welcoming, they insisted on us taking picture of them and they offered us fresh coconut. So here's the chance for me to pass on the perfect recipe for fresh coconut, all in 3 easy steps. For those of you who need a closer guidance videos are included.
Step 1
Climb up the coconut tree.
Step 2
From the top of the tree select the best coconuts and throw them down to the ground. No worries, they wont break.
Step 3
Easy huh? Here's the difficult step. With your inseparable machete cut the top part of the coconut, but you have to make sure to cut only enough to let a small hole appear. That will allow you to drink the nectar contained inside. A deeper cut will and the coconut is wasted! Make sure you dont throw away (or rather dont let chickens steal) the parts of the coconut you just cut off. Once finished drinking you'll cut the nut in half and can use the left bits to cut out a spoon to scrape the soft white edible part.
Et Voila'! Fresh Young Coconut
is served!!
